WARNING
nWhen inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
lIf steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
l Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from
the fan and belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be
caught, resulting in serious injury.
l Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the engine and radiator are
hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
nWhen adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine has cooled down sufficiently. Adding
cool coolant to a hot engine too quickly can cause damage to the engine.
n To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
lAvoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust
etc.).
l Do not use any coolant additives.
