WARNING!

(Continued)

You or others can be badly 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 try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator is hot.

Coolant Checks
Check the engine coolant (antifreeze) protection every 12

months (before the onset of freezing weather, where

applicable).If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty, the

system should be drained, flushed, and refilled with

fresh OAT coolant (conforming to MS-12106) by an

authorized dealer. Check the front of the A/C condenser

for any accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty, clean by

gently spraying water from a garden hose vertically

down the face of the condenser.
