engine is not running and can injure
you. Keep hands, clothing
and
tools away from any underhood eIectric fan.
If the coolant inside the coolant recovery tank is boiling, don’t do
anything else until

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.

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.

NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready to use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts of the washer system.
Also, water
doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only 3/4 full when it’s very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank
