Subaru Forester: Cooling system / Safety precautions
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap until the engine has been shut
off and has cooled down completely.
Since the coolant is under pressure,
you may suffer serious burns from a
spray of boiling hot coolant when
the cap is removed.
CAUTION
- Vehicles are filled at the factory
with SUBARU SUPER COOLANT
that does not require the first
change for 11 years/137,500
miles (11 years/220,000 km). This
coolant should not be mixed with
any other brand or type of coolant
during this period. Mixing
with a different coolant will reduce
the life of the coolant.
Should it be necessary to add
the coolant for any reason, use
only SUBARU SUPER COOLANT.
If the SUBARU SUPER COOLANT
is diluted with another brand or type, the maintenance interval is
shortened to that of the mixing
coolant.
- Do not splash the engine coolant
over painted parts. The alcohol
contained in the engine coolant
may damage the paint surface.
Your vehicle employs an electric cooling
fan which is thermostatically controlled to
operate when the engine coolant reaches
a specific temperature...
