Do not remove the engine/power control unit coolant reservoir caps.
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the cap
is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
 When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor straight antifreeze. The correct mixture of
water and antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication, corrosion pro-
tection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.
 If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging parts or paint.

cally start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is

fans or radiator grille.
