Checking Coolant Level
CAUTION:
Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling system can cause serious burns to you or others.
If radiator fill cap must be removed, do not remove when engine is hot. Shut engine off and wait until cap is cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure, before removing completely.
Never add coolant when engine is overheated. Wait for it to cool.
Coolant level should be between "HOT LEVEL" and "COLD LEVEL" marks on overflow tank (A) depending on engine temperature.
Add coolant to overflow tank as needed. If overflow tank is empty, add coolant directly to expansion tank (B) under engine hood. (See LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE section in this manual for proper coolant specifications.)
A-Overflow Tank
B-Expansion Tank
