Note the Following When Working on the Cooling System:
WARNING:
Risk of scalding due to hot steam and hot coolant.
- The coolant system is under pressure when the engine is warm.
- Cover the coolant reservoir cap with a cloth and then open it slowly to release the pressure.
There is a risk of injury if the radiator fan turns on by itself.
- The coolant fan can come on even when the ignition is turned off, for example, caused by the heat still in the engine compartment.
CAUTION:
The vehicle could overheat if the cap is installed incorrectly.
- The cap must click tight when closing it.
