Do not remove the coolant pressure cap when the
engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant
inside the radiator is hot and also under pressure.
Contact with the pressurised coolant will cause
scalds and skin damage.

Caution
If the coolant level is found to be low, or if coolant
has to be added regularly, inspect the cooling
system for coolant leaks. If necessary, pressure test
the system to locate the source of the leak and
rectify as necessary. Loss of coolant may cause the
engine to overheat and suffer severe damage.
