Cooling System: Service Precautions

Cooling System

Note the following when working on the cooling system:

Risk of scalding due to hot steam and hot coolant.

• The coolant system is under pressure when the engine is warm.

• Cover the coolant reservoir cap with a cloth and then open it slowly to release the pressure in the system.

Risk of injury through fan turning on automatically.

• Disconnect the connectors before working near the fan shroud.

The vehicle could overheat if the cap is installed incorrectly.

• The cap must engage noticeably when sealing.
