WARNING

cap
Check   the  antifreeze    protection   and
coolant level at  least once a year,  at the
beginning   of  the   winter  season,   and
before traveling to a colder climate.
Never attempt to remove the radi-
ator cap while the engine is oper-
ating or hot. Doing so  might lead
to  cooling   system   and  engine
damage and  could result in  seri-
ous  personal injury  from  escap-
ing hot coolant or steam.
Turn the engine off and wait until it
cools  down.   Use  extreme   care
when  removing the  radiator  cap.
Wrap a  thick towel around  it, and
turn it counterclockwise  slowly to
the first stop.  Step back while the
pressure is released from the cool-
ing system. When you are sure all
the  pressure  has  been  released,
press  down on  the  cap,  using  a
thick  towel, and  continue turning
counterclockwise to remove it.
