WARNING
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 surge tank pressure
cap — even a little — they can
come out at high speed. Never
turn the cap when the cooling
system, including the surge tank
pressure cap, is hot. Wait for the
cooling system and surge tank
pressure cap to cool if you ever
have to turn the pressure cap.
If coolant is needed, add the proper
mixture directly to the radiator, but
be sure the cooling system is cool
before this is done.
If no coolant is visible in the coolant
overflow bottle , add coolant as
follows:
