Buick Le Sabre Automobile User Manual


 
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
FULL
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.
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
CAUTION: (Continued)
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.
