Kia Soul: Cooling System Refilling And Bleeding
Kia Soul 2014-2019 PS Service Manual / Maintenance / Power Train / Cooling System Refilling And Bleeding
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
scalding could be caused by hot fluid under high pressure escaping from
the radiator.
|
When pouring engine coolant, be sure to shut the relay box lid
and not to let coolant spill on the electrical parts or the paint. If
any coolant spills, rinse it off immediately.
