Inspecting Coolant Level

WARNING

Do not use a match or live flame in
the engine compartment. DO NOT
ADD COOLANT WHEN THE ENGINE
IS HOT:

A hot engine is dangerous. If the
engine has been running, parts of the
engine compartment can become very
hot. You could be burned. Carefully
inspect the engine coolant in the
coolant reservoir, but do not open it.

Pull over to a safe location, then

switch the ignition off and make sure
the fan is not running before
attempting to work near the cooling
fan:

Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if
the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.

 Do not remove either

cooling system cap when the engine
and radiator are hot:

When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot
out under pressure and cause serious
injury.
