The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any

accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces.

WARNING!

The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the

cooling system pressure cap are a safety precaution.
Never add engine coolant (antifreeze) when the
engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the
cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes
pressure to build up in the cooling system. To
prevent scalding or injury, do not remove the
pressure cap while the system is hot or under
pressure.

Do not use a pressure cap other than the one

specified for your vehicle. Personal injury or en-
gine damage may result.

Disposal Of Used Engine Coolant
Used ethylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) is

a regulated substance requiring proper disposal. Check

with your local authorities to determine the disposal

rules for your community. To prevent ingestion by ani-

mals or children, do not store ethylene glycol-based

engine coolant in open containers or allow it to remain in

puddles on the ground. If ingested by a child or pet, seek

emergency assistance immediately. Clean up any ground

spills immediately.
Coolant Level
The coolant bottle provides a quick visual method for

determining that the engine coolant (antifreeze) level is

adequate. With the engine OFF and cold, the level of the

engine coolant (antifreeze) in the bottle should be be-

tween the ranges indicated on the bottle.
