CAUTION:

You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Do not spill coolant on a hot engine.

If no coolant is visible in the surge tank, add coolant
as follows:

1. You can remove the coolant surge tank pressure

cap when the cooling system, including the coolant
surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator
hose, is no longer hot. Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise about one-quarter of a turn. If
you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means
there is still some pressure left.

2. Then keep turning the pressure cap slowly, and

remove it.
