328 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces. WARNING! The warning words DO NOT OPEN HOT on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety precaution. Never add antifreeze/coolant when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system. To prevent scalding or injury, do not remove the pressure cap while the system is hot or under pressure. Disposal of Used Engine Coolant Used Hybrid Organic Additive Technology (HOAT) antifreeze/coolant is a regulated substance requiring proper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community. To prevent ingestion by animals or children, do not store HOAT antifreeze/coolant in open containers, or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground. If ingested by a child, contact a physician immediately. Clean up ground spills immediately. Engine Coolant Level The coolant recovery bottle provides a quick visual method for determining that the antifreeze/coolant level is adequate. With the engine idling, and warm to normal operating temperature, the level of the antifreeze/coolant should be between the ranges indicated on the bottle. The radiator normally remains completely full, so there is no need to remove the radiator cap unless checking for antifreeze/coolant freeze point or replacing coolant. Advise your service attendant of this. As long as the engine operating temperature is satisfactory, the coolant bottle need only be checked once a month.
