Engine Compartment
CAUTION
Steam from an overheated
engine can burn you badly.
Stay away from the engine if
you see or hear steam coming
from it.
Be careful when working
around the engine compart-
ment. Some engine parts can
get very hot and could burn
you.
Important Safety Precautions
CAUTION
(Continued)
Exercise extreme caution
around the electric engine fan.
It sometimes starts by itself,
even when the engine is not
running.
Cooling System
CAUTION
Do not run the engine if the
coolant is leaking. If the vehicle
loses all coolant, it could cause
an engine fire and you could be
burned.
Adding only plain water or a
liquid other than the recom-
mended coolant can be
dangerous. The engine could
overheat, but you would not
get the overheat warning. The
engine could catch on fire and
you or others could be burned.
CAUTION
Under some conditions the
ethylene glycol in engine cool-
ant is combustible. To avoid
being burned, do not spill cool-
ant on the exhaust system or on
hot engine parts. If you have
any doubt, have this operation
performed by a qualified
technician.
