SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

~1min read
  • You or others can be seriously burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never open the cooling system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant reservoir is hot.
  • Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry away from the radiator cooling fan when the hood is raised. The fan starts automatically and can start at any time, whether the engine is running or not.
  • When working near the radiator cooling fan, disconnect the fan motor wire or turn the ignition off. The fan is temperature controlled and can start at any time while the ignition is in the ON position.
