Ф Drain:
coolant (from the coolant reservoir)
Х Remove:
radiator cap 1
WARNING
A hot radiator is under pressure. Therefore, do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be blown out, which could cause seri-ous injury. When the engine has cooled, open the radiator cap as follows:
Place a thick rag or a towel over the radia-tor cap and slowly turn the radiator cap counterclockwise toward the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the radiator cap, while still pressing down turn it counterclockwise, and then remove it.

Ы If coolant splashes in your eyes, thor-oughly wash them with water and consult a doctor.
Ы If coolant splashes on your clothes, quickly wash it away with water and then with soap and water.
Ы If coolant is swallowed, induce vomiting and get immediate medical attention.
CAUTION:
Ы Adding water instead of coolant lowers the antifreeze content of the coolant. If water is used instead of coolant, check, and if necessary, correct the antifreeze concentration of the coolant.
