Remove the radiator cap only after the engine has
cooled to room temperature. Place a waste cloth
over the cap, and loosen the cap about a half-turn or
stand the lever to the upright position to release inter-
nal pressure. Opening the radiator cap while the
engine is hot causes steam and hot coolant to spray
out and may result in skin burns.
Always use the coolant with the same LLC concen-
tration.
