Caution: NEVER spray water on a hot heat exchanger. The resulting steam could cause personal injury.

At least once a year, clean the front face of the radiator. On vehicles with air conditioning, clean the front face of the condenser. Remove any bugs, leaves, and other material by blowing compressed air from the rear of the radiator towards the front of the vehicle. If compressed air is not available, use a water hose to force water through the radiator from the rear toward the front of the vehicle. Use water only with the engine off and cool.

Notice: Compressed air or water can be used to clean the radiator fins. Do not exceed 138 kPa (20 psi). Pressure over 138 kPa (20 psi) will damage the radiator.

Important: Keep the radiator clean for proper cooling.

Notice: The heat exchanger fins are necessary for good heat transfer. Do not brush the fins. This may cause damage to the fins, reducing heat transfer.
