How
to
Add
Coolant
to
the Radiator
I
NOTICE:
Your engine has
a
specific radiator fill procedure.
Failure to follow this procedure could cause your
engine to overheat and be severely damaged.
1.
You can remove the
radiator pressure cap
when the cooling
system, including the
radiator pressure cap and
upper radiator hose, is
no longer hot. Turn the
pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise until it
first stops. (Don’t press
down while turning the
pressure cap.)
If
you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop.
A
hiss means
there is still some pressure left.
2.
Then keep turning the
pressure cap, but now
push down as you turn
it. Remove the
pressure cap.

CAUTIO
You can be burned
if
you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and it
will
burn
if
the engine parts are hot
enough. Don’t spill coolant on a hot engine.
