6. Examine the radiator hoses for
coolant leakage and the drive belt for
looseness or damage. If there is
anything wrong with the cooling system
or drive belt, we recommend you to
have it checked and repaired.
WARNING
293)Do not open the bonnet while steam
is coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
294)Be careful of hot steam, which could
be blowing off the reserve tank cap.
295)Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
296)Be careful not to get your hands or
clothes caught in the cooling fan.
297)Make sure that the engine has cooled
down before removing the radiator cap (A),
because hot steam or boiling water
otherwise will gush from the filler port and
may scald you.
IMPORTANT
165)Do not add coolant while the engine is
hot. Suddenly adding cold coolant could
damage the engine. Wait for the engine to
cool down, then add coolant a little at a
time.
