The coolant level should be at or above the FULL

radiator, water pump, or somewhere else in the

Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine
parts, can be very hot. Do not touch them.
If you do, you can be burned.
Do not run the engine if there is a leak. If you
run the engine, it could lose all coolant. That
could cause an engine re, and you could be
burned. Get any leak xed before you drive the
vehicle.

without coolant is not covered by your warranty.
