 WARNING 

Do not remove the pressure cap from a hot engine. Wait until the coolant temperature is below 50°C [120°F] before removing the pressure cap. Heated coolant spray or steam can cause personal injury.

Operate the engine until the coolant temperature is above 82°C [180°F], and check for coolant leaks.

After the air has been purged from the system, check the coolant level again.
