Cooling System: Service Precautions



COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS - 2.3L

Warning:
- To avoid personal injury, do not unscrew the coolant pressure relief cap while the engine is operating or hot. The coolant system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

Caution:
- Check the coolant level, engine oil and transmission fluid. Top off the coolant if needed. If there is engine coolant in the engine oil or transmission fluid the cause must be corrected and oil/fluid changed or major component damage may occur.

Caution:
- Vehicle cooling systems are filled with VC-7-A (yellow color) coolant. Always fill the cooling system with the same coolant that is present in the system. Do not mix coolant types.
