the engine speed may decrease to the idle speed. This is does not
indicate a malfunction.
Never remove the cooling system cap or loosen the radiator drain
plug while the engine is running, or when the engine and radiator are
hot. Scalding engine coolant and steam may shoot out and cause
serious injury. It may also damage the engine and cooling system.
Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very
careful when removing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and
slowly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while the
pressure escapes.
When you are sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap
using the cloth, turn it, and remove it.
