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.
- Disconnect the connectors before working near the fan shroud.
CAUTION:
The vehicle could overheat if the cap is installed incorrectly.
- Close the cap on the coolant reservoir until it locks into place.
