Warning (Continued)<br />
and it will burn if the engine parts<br />
are hot enough. Do not spill<br />
coolant on a hot engine.<br />
Caution<br />
This vehicle has a specific<br />
coolant fill procedure. Failure to<br />
follow this procedure could cause<br />
the engine to overheat and be<br />
severely damaged.<br />
{ Warning<br />
Steam and scalding liquids from a<br />
hot cooling system can blow out<br />
and burn you badly. Never turn<br />
the cap when the cooling system,<br />
including the surge tank pressure<br />
cap, is hot. Wait for the cooling<br />
system and surge tank pressure<br />
cap to cool.<br />
The coolant surge tank pressure<br />
cap can be removed when the<br />
cooling system, including the surge<br />
tank pressure cap and upper<br />
radiator hose, is no longer hot.<br />
1. Turn the pressure cap slowly<br />
counterclockwise. If a hiss is<br />
heard, wait for that to stop.<br />
A hiss means there is still<br />
some pressure left.<br />
2. Keep turning the cap and<br />
remove it.<br />
3. Fill the coolant surge tank with<br />
the proper mixture to the mark<br />
pointed to on the front of the<br />
coolant surge tank.<br />
4. With the coolant surge tank<br />
cap off, start the engine and let<br />
it run until the upper radiator<br />
hose starts getting hot. Watch<br />
out for the engine cooling fans.<br />
By this time, the coolant level<br />
inside the coolant surge tank<br />
may be lower. If the level is<br />
lower, add more of the proper<br />
mixture to the coolant surge<br />
tank until the level reaches the<br />
mark pointed to on the front of<br />
the coolant surge tank.
