●
If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
●
Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from
the fan and belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be
caught, resulting in serious injury.

Do not loosen the radiator cap and the coolant reservoir cap while the
engine and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.

Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust
