Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 4 .. .. .
A CAUTION:
brning the radiator pressure cap when the engine and radiator
are
hut can allow steam and scalding liquids to blow out and
burn you badly. With the coolant recovery tank, you will almost
never have to add coolant
at the radiator. Never turn the
radiator
pressure cap -- even a little -- when the engine and
radiator are
hot.
Add coolant mix at the recovery tank, but be careful not to spill it.
A CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spil1 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.
I
NOTICE:
Your radiator pressure cap is a 15 psi (105 ma) 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 overflow tube on the radiator filier
neck.
When you replace your radiator pressure cap, a GM cap is
recommended.

The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some

If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked

The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until
the motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options

opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes
away.
