Engine Cooling System MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION WARNING Escaping steam can cause severe burns. Never remove the pressure cap while the engine is warm or hot. Always allow the engine to cool before removing the pressure cap. Radiator Coolant Level NOTE: This procedure is required only if the cooling system has been drained for maintenance and/or repair. However, if the recovery bottle has run dry, the level in the radiator should be inspected and coolant added if necessary. 1. Remove the front panel to access the radiator pressure cap (1). Remove the cap. 1 2. If coolant is low, use a funnel and slowly add coolant through the radiator filler neck. 3. Reinstall the pressure cap and secure the front panel. 4. Fill the coolant recovery bottle to the upper mark on the bottle. 5. Check the coolant level in the bottle frequently, adding coolant as needed until the level stabilizes. NOTE: Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to function properly. Contact your dealer for the correct replacement part. 87
