Coolant level
The engine coolant is a mixture of water and
anticorrosion/antifreeze.
When checking the coolant level, the vehicle
must be parked on level ground, and the
coolant temperature must be below 158‡
(70†).
G Warning!
In order to avoid any potentially serious
burns:
Use extreme caution when opening the
R
hood if there are any signs of steam or
coolant leaking from the cooling system,
or if the coolant temperature gauge
indicates that the coolant is overheated.
Do not remove pressure cap on coolant
R
reservoir if coolant temperature is above
158‡ (70†). Allow engine to cool down
before removing cap. The coolant
reservoir contains hot fluid and is under
pressure.
