Adding Coolan t
coolant pressu re cap shou ld be insp ected and cleaned if
there is any accumulation of foreign material on the
sealing surfaces.
When adding coolant, or refilling the system , a minim um
of 50% solu tion of ethylene glycol antifreeze coolant in
water shou ld be used . Higher concentrations (not to
exceed 70%) are requ ired if tem peratu res below Ϫ34°F
WARN ING!
(Ϫ37°C) are anticip ated .
•
The warn ing word s “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on
the coolan t pressu re cap are a safety precau tion .
Never add coolan t to the coolin g system when the
engin e is overh eated . Do not loosen or rem ove the
coolan t pressu re cap to cool an overh eated engin e.
Heat causes pressu re to build up in the coolin g
system . To preven t scald ing or injury, do not
rem ove the coolan t pressu re cap while the system
is hot or under pressu re.
Use only high purity water such as distilled or deionized
water when mixing the water/ antifreeze solu tion. The
use of lower quality water will red uce the amount of
corrosion protection in the engine cooling system .
Please note that it is the owner’s resp onsibility to main-
tain the prop er level of protection against freezing ac-
cord ing to the tem peratu res occurring in the area where
the vehicle is operated .

specified for you r veh icle. Person al injury or
engin e damage may resu lt.
NOTE: Mixing coolant typ es will decrease the life of the
engine coolant and will requ ire more frequ ent coolant
changes.
Coolan t Pressu re Cap
The coolant pressu re cap must be fully tightened to
prevent loss of coolant, and to insu re that coolant will
