[SV20075(ALL)09/95]

RWARNING

Be careful not to add engine coolant to the windshield
washer fluid reservoir. If sprayed on the windshield,
engine coolant could make it difficult to see through the
windshield.

[SV20100(ALL)09/95]

When the engine is cool, add a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant
and water to the engine coolant recovery reservoir — DO NOT
ADD DIRECTLY TO THE RADIATOR. Add straight water only
in an emergency, but you should replace it with a 50/50
mixture of coolant and distilled water as soon as possible.

[SV20125(ALL)09/95]

Check the coolant level in the coolant recovery reservoir the
next few times you drive the vehicle. If necessary, add enough
of a 50/50 mixture of coolant and water to bring the liquid
level to the fill line on the reservoir.

[SV20150(ALL)09/95]

RWARNING

Never remove the coolant recovery cap while the engine
is running or hot.

and remove it.
