radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge

reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner

turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on

HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately, and call for

ser vice.

WARNING!

You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your

radiator. If you see or hear steam coming fromunder 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 or coolant bottle is hot.
