8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■ When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
● If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the steam
has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
● Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the fans and
belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
● RC350/RC300: While the engine and radi-
ator are hot, do not loosen or remove the
coolant reservoir cap or radiator cap. (The
radiator cap is located under the engine
cover.)
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.
● RC200t: While the engine and radiators are
hot, do not loosen or remove the coolant res-
ervoir cap, radiator cap, or intercooler cool-
ant reservoir cap.
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.
● RC F: While the engine and radiator are hot,
do not loosen or remove the coolant reser-
voir cap.
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.
