RADIATOR HOSES
Inspect the radiator hoses for damage and engine coolant leak-
age. If any damages are found, replace the radiator hoses with
new ones.
* Do not open the radiator cap when the engine is hot,
as you may be injured by escaping hot liquid or
vapor.
* Engine coolant may be harmful if swallowed or if it
comes in contact with the skin or eyes. If engine
coolant gets into the eyes or contacts the skin, flush
the eyes or wash the skin thoroughly, with plenty of
water. If engine coolant is swallowed, induce vomit-
ing and call a physician immediately.
Repeat the above procedure several times and make
sure the radiator is filled with engine coolant to the
upper line of the engine coolant reservoir.
Inspect every 1 000 km (600 miles, 3 months).
Replace every 4 years.
