70%) if temperatures below
( 37°C) are anticipated.
• Use only high purity water such as
distilled or deionized water when mix-
ing the water/engine coolant (anti-
freeze) solution. The use of lower qual-
ity water will reduce the amount of
corrosion protection in the engine cool-
ing system.
Please note that it is the owner's respon-
sibility to maintain the proper level of pro-
tection against freezing according to the
temperatures occurring in the area where
the vehicle is operated.
NOTE: Mixing engine coolant (antifreeze)
types will decrease the life of the engine
coolant (antifreeze) and will require more
frequent coolant changes.
34°F Cooling System Pressure Cap
The cap must be fully tightened to prevent
the loss of engine coolant (antifreeze), and
to ensure that engine coolant (antifreeze)
will return to the radiator from the coolant
recovery bottle.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned
if there is any accumulation of foreign
material on the sealing surfaces.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
• The warning words "DO NOT
OPEN HOT" on the cooling system
pressure cap are a safety precau-
tion. Never add engine coolant (an-
tifreeze) when the engine is over-
heated. Do not loosen or remove
the cap to cool an overheated en-
gine. Heat causes pressure to
build up in the cooling system. To
prevent scalding or injury, do not
remove the pressure cap while the
system is hot or under pressure.
• Do not use a pressure cap other
than the one specified for your
vehicle. Personal injury or engine
damage may result.
