Inspecting Coolant Level

WARNING

Do not use a match or live 

fl

ame 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 o

ff

 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 inde

fi

nitely 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.
