DRIVING
- 4–17 -
CAUTION
Do not stop the engine immediately.
Otherwise, the engine may seize.
3. When the needle of the engine
coolant temperature gauge returns
to the middle of the safety zone, stop
the engine.
WARNING
• Even when the engine has been
stopped, the engine coolant in
the radiator remains under
pressure. Immediately removing
the radiator cap could cause
steam or hot water to blow out,
and you could be scalded as a
result. The engine coolant in the
reserve tank may also be hot.
Immediately removing the cap
could cause hot water to blow
out, and possibly scald you.
• Check, replenish or change the
engine coolant only after the
engine has sufficiently cooled
down.
• When removing the radiator cap
and reserve tank cap, use a thick
cloth to cover the cap and turn it
little by little.
• Coolant is toxic and must not be
ingested. If the coolant is
mistakenly ingested, immediately
vomit it and seek prompt medical
attention.
• If the coolant gets in your eyes,
rinse it off immediately with a
large amount of water for 15
minutes or longer. Also, if still
abnormality such as irritation is
felt, seek medical attention.
• If the coolant gets on your skin,
rinse it off using a soap with a
large amount of water. Also, if
abnormality is seen, seek medical
attention.
• For storage, close the cap
securely and keep it in a place
inaccessible to children.
• Coolant is flammable, and
therefore, it must be kept away
from flames and other heat
sources. Coolant also could
ignite if it comes in contact with
a hot surface, such as the
exhaust manifold. Exercise
caution to prevent this from
happening.
