4.8 REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION, COOLANT FILTER
When the coolant is hot, there is an
overpressure in the cooling system.
Carefully remove the filler cap to
release the overpressure.
Coolant is a toxic fluid. Contact with
the skin should therefore be
avoided.
In order to avoid damaging the
cylinder block, do not top up a
warm engine with cold coolant.
