General Procedures
WARNING: To avoid having scalding hot coolant or steam blowing out of the cooling system, use extreme care when
removing the coolant pressure cap from a hot cooling system. Wait until the engine has cooled, then wrap a thick cloth
around the coolant pressure cap and turn it slowly until the pressure begins to release. Step back while the pressure is
released from the system. When certain all the pressure has been released (still with a cloth) turn and remove the coolant
pressure cap from the coolant expansion tank. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
• CAUTIONS:
The engine cooling system must be maintained with the correct concentration and type of anti-freeze solution to
prevent corrosion and frost damage. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the vehicle.
Engine coolant will damage the paint finished surfaces. If spilt, immediately remove the coolant and clean the area
with water.
Set the heater controls to maximum HOT.
