Maintenance
The electric motor for the cooling fan
is controlled by coolant temperature,
refrigerant pressure and vehicle
speed. As the coolant temperature
decreases, the electric motor will
automatically shut off. This is a nor-
mal condition.
Never remove the
coolant cap or the
drain plug while the
radiator is hot. Hot
coolant and steam
may blow out under pressure,
causing serious injury.

WARNING
