WARNING:
Do not remove the cooling system pressure cap or any hose with the system hot and under pressure because serious burns from coolant can occur.
- 2.0L/2.4L: Remove pressure cap when engine is cold. Remove small amount of coolant. Idle engine until thermostat opens. You should observe coolant flow while looking down the filler neck. Once flow is detected install the pressure cap. Replace removed coolant into coolant recovery container.
