When the coolant in the coolant recovery tank
is
at
FULL
COLD
start your vehicle.
If the overheat
warning
continues, there's one more
thing
you can
try.
You can add the proper coolant
mixture directly to
the
radiator but
be
sure
the
cooling
system
is
cool before you do it.
'
A
CAUTION:
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.
F
A
CAUTION:
Steam and scalding liquids from
a
hot cooling
system
can
blow
out
and
burn
you
badly.
They
are under pressure, and if
you
turn the radiator
pressure cap
--
even
a
little
--
they can come out
at
high speed. Never turn the cap when the
cooling system, including the radiator pressure
cap, is hot. Wait for the cooling system and
radiator pressure cap
to
cool
if
you ever have
to
turn the pressure cap.
