Cooling System
When you decide it’s safe to lift the hood, here’s what
you’ll see:
A. Coolant Recovery Reservoir
B. Electric Engine Cooling Fans
C. Radiator Pressure Cap
I A CAUTION:
An electric engine cooling fan under the hood can
start up even when the engine is not running and can injure you. Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from any underhood electric fan.
If the coolant inside the coolant recovery tank is boiling,
don’t do anything else until
it cools down.

The coolant level should be at or above the GOLD mark
on the overflow hose in the coolant recovery reservoir.
To check the coolant level, remove the cap on the
coolant recovery reservoir.
Make sure to check that the
coolant level
is up to the COLD fill level on the hose
attached
to the cap.
If it isn’t, you my have a leak in the radiator hoses,
heater hoses, radiator, water pump or somewhere else
in the COO& system.
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.
I NOTICE:
r
Engine damage if you keep running your engine
without coolant isn’t covered
by your warranty.
If there seems to be no leak, with the engine on, check to
see
if the electric engine cooling fans are running. If the
engine is overheating, both
fans should be running. If
they aren’t, your vehicle needs service.
