You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Don't spill coolant on a hot engine.
When
the
coolant in the coolant recovery tank is at
the
COLD
mark, start your vehicle.
If
the overheat warning continues, there's
one
more
thing you can try.
You
can add
the
proper coolant
mix
directly to the radiator, but
be
sure the cooling system
is
cool
before
you
do
it.
A
CAUTION:
I
Steam and scalding liquids
from
a
hot cooling
system can blow out and burn you badly. They
are under pressure, and if you turn the radiator
pressure cap
--
even
a
little
--
they
can
come out
at high speed. Never turn the cap when the
cooling system, including the radiator pressure
cap, is hot. Wait for the cooling system and
radiator pressure cap to cool
if
you ever have to
turn the pressure cap.
