NOTE
The white plastic engine coolant reservoir tank is marked with minimum and
maximum rib marks visible from the outside. Proper coolant level will be indicated
when between the two ribbed markings.

WARNING
The engine coolant system is under pressure when the engine is hot. Removing the
radiator cap when the engine is hot can cause hot coolant to spew from the cap
causing scald injury. Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot.
