Technician Safety Information
WARNING:^ This vehicle has a Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System. Failure to follow the WARNING could cause air bag deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs.
^ As long as there is pressure in the cooling system, the-temperature can be considerably higher than the boiling temperature of the solution in the radiator, without causing the solution to boil. Removal of the radiator cap while the engine is hot and the pressure is high will cause the solution to boil instantaneously and possibly with explosive force, spewing the solution over the engine, fenders, and person removing the cap. Under some conditions, the engine coolant is combustible.
