The fan is temperature controlled and can start at anytime the ignition switch is in the ON position. • You or others can be badly burned by hot coolant or steam from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, don't open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator is hot. WARNING!

To avoid breathing CO, refer to Exhaust Gas in the Safety Tips section of this manual.
