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.
Radiator Pressure Cap (All Engines)
~ NOTICE:
Your radiator cap is a 18 psi
(124 kPa) pressure-type cap and
must be tightly installed to prevent
coolant loss and possible engine
damage from overheating. Be sure
the arrows on the cap line
up with
the ovefflow tube on the radiator
filler neck.

Service & Appearance Care
When you replace your radiator pressure
cap. an
AC3 cap is recommended.
Thermostat
Engine coolant temperature is controlled
by a thermostat in the engine coolant
system. The thermostat stops the flow
of
coolant through the radiator until the
coolant reaches a preset temperature.
When you replace
your thermostat, an
AC@ thermostat is recommended.
