imately one half turn counterclockwise
to release any excess pressure.

Using a rag, slowly open the cap approx-
imately 1/2 turn to relieve excess pres-
sure. If opened immediately, scalding
hot fluid and steam will be blown out
under pressure.
The engine coolant is a mixture of water
and anticorrosion/antifreeze.

Continue turning cap 2 counterclock-
When checking the coolant level,
wise and remove it.
Do not spill antifreeze on hot engine
parts. Antifreeze contains ethylene gly-
col which may burn if it comes into con-
tact with hot engine parts.

̈
Add coolant as required.
In order to avoid potentially serious burns:
̈ Replace and tighten cap 2.
ț
Use extreme caution when opening the
hood if there are any signs of steam or
coolant leaking from the cooling system,
or if the coolant temperature gauge indi-
cates that the coolant is overheated.
For more information on coolant, see the
“Technical data” section (୴ page 452).
ț
Do not remove pressure cap on coolant
reservoir if coolant temperature is
above 158°F (70°C). Allow engine to
cool down before removing cap. The
coolant reservoir contains hot fluid and
is under pressure.
