Warning: If an engine has been operating and the coolant is hot, allow the engine to cool before you
slowly loosen the filler cap and relieve the pressure from the cooling system.

device from a system that utilizes pressure. Do not check for pressure leaks with your hand. High
pressure oil or fuel can cause personal injury.
