coolant (antifreeze), and to ensure that engine coolant

(antifreeze) will return to the radiator from the coolant

recovery tank.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any

accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces.
NOTE:

Be sure you do not mix the engine coolant system

pressure cap with the intercooler system pressure cap

these caps are not interchangeable.

WARNING!

Do not open hot engine cooling system. Never add

engine coolant (antifreeze) when the engine is
