Engine cooling system
The engine cooling system is designed to
maintain the engine at the proper
operating temperature. The cooling
system was filled at the factory with a
quality engine coolant. The engine cooling
system is designed to use engine coolant
rather than water (distilled water or
deionized water) . The engine coolant
solution should be used year round. It has
many advantages such as:
• Protecting against rust and corrosion in
the cooling system
• Maintaining the proper engine
temperature for efficient operation and
emission control.
• Allowing proper operation of the engine
coolant temperature gauge.
See the "MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE" in
this section to find out when the engine
coolant must be replaced.
WARNING
• Check, replenish or change the
engine coolant only after the
engine has sufficiently cooled
down.
• Do not loosen or remove the cap
of the radiator or reserve tank
cap when the engine coolant is
still hot. Hot vapor or boiling
water may burst out and cause a
burn. Cover the cap with a cloth,
etc. and remove it gradually after
the engine is fully cooled down
and the temperature of the
engine coolant becomes low.
• When removing the radiator cap,
use a thick cloth to cover the cap
and turn it slowly.
• Engine coolant is toxic and must
not be ingested. If the engine
coolant is mistakenly ingested,
immediately vomit it and seek
prompt medical attention.
• If the engine 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 engine 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.
• Engine coolant is flammable, and
therefore, it must be kept away
from flames and other heat
sources. Engine 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.
• For storage, close the cap
securely and keep it in a place
inaccessible to children.
