5.3 DRAINING AND FILLING/BLEEDING, COOLING SYSTEM
In order to avoid damaging the
cylinder block, do not top up a
warm engine with cold coolant.
Coolant is a toxic fluid and must be
handled with care. Protect skin and
eyes.
Coolant is harmful to the
environment; after use, it should be
processed as industrial chemical
waste.
When the coolant is hot, there is
overpressure in the cooling system.
When removing the filler cap, allow
the overpressure to escape by first
loosening the filler cap one turn.
