WARNING
■When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
- If 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.
- 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.
Also, it may operate for several minutes even after the engine switch is turned off.
- Do not loosen the radiator cap
and the coolant reservoir caps
while the engine and radiator
are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When 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.
■To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
- Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust, etc.).
- Do not use any coolant additive.
