water pump CHEVROLET CAVALIER 2002 3.G Owners Manual

5-14
If the coolant inside the coolant surge tank is boiling,
don't do anything else until it cools down. The vehicle
should be parked on a level surface.
The coolant level should be
at the FULL COLD mark.
If it isn't, you may have a
leak at the pressure cap or
in the radiator hoses, heater
hoses, radiator, water pump
or somewhere in the
cooling system.
CAUTION:
Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine
parts, can be very hot. Don't touch them.
If you do, you can be burned.
Don't run the engine if there is a leak. If you run
the engine, it could lose all coolant. That could
cause an engine fire, and you could be burned.
Get any leak fixed before you drive the vehicle.
If there seems to be no leak, with the engine on,
check to see if the electric engine cooling fan is running.
If the engine is overheating, the fan should be running.
If it isn't, your vehicle needs service.
