Engine coolant
The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year round anti

freeze coolant. The reservoir is filled at
the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at the
beginning of the winter season, and
before traveling to a colder climate.

僅 When the engine overheats from low
engine coolant, suddenly adding
engine coolant may cause cracks in
the engine. To prevent damage, add
engine coolant slowly in small quanti
-
ties.
僅 Do not drive with no engine coolant. It
may cause water pump failure and
engine seizure, etc.

steam could cause serious personal
injury.
Turn the engine off and wait until it cools
down. Use extreme care when removing
the engine coolant reservoir cap. Wrap a
thick towel around it, and turn it counter
-
clockwise slowly to the first stop. Step
back while the pressure is released from
the cooling system.
When you are sure all the pressure has
been released, press down on the cap,
