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.
