3. CAUTIONS
If 100% of anti-freeze is added, the water pump vane can be damaged and thermal conductivity
can be decreased resulting in poor circulation in the cooling system which leads to overheated
engine.
Use of non-recommended coolant could cause damage to the cooling system and overheating of
the engine.
Opening the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot can cause burns by hot steam
or water.
To open the coolant reservoir cap, wrap the cap with a wet towel or thick cloth after the engine is
cooled down sufficiently.
If cool water is added to the heated engine, the engine or radiator can be deformed.
The anti-freeze in the coolant can damage the painted surface, so avoid the contact of the coolant
to the painted body.
The anti-freeze and water should be mixed in proper mixture ratio. Never add only water when
adding coolant.
If the anti-freeze content is too low, the coolant can be frozen while the engine can be overheated if
anti-freeze content is too high. -

Water pump
The water pump is driven by the engine drive belt and supplies
the coolant to each area of the engine.
Coolant reservoir
Long life coolant is used.
Thermostat
When the engine coolant
starts to open (fully open at
flow to the radiator to maintain
the engine temperature.

Electric fan
Circulates the fresh air forcibly to exchange heat
with the radiator core fin.
Radiator
Releases heat through fins and cools down the hot
coolant as the coolant passes through the tube of the
radiator core.
Coolant temperature sensor
Measures the coolant
temperature and sends the
result to the engine ECU.

A. Overview of cooling fan and A/C compressor
The cooling system maintains the engine temperature at an efficient level during all engine operating
conditions. The water pump draws the coolant from the radiator. The coolant then circulates through
water jackets in the engine block, the intake manifold, and the cylinder head. When the coolant reaches
the operating temperature of the thermostat, the thermostat opens. The coolant then goes back to the
radiator where it cools. The heat from automatic transmission is also cooled down through the radiator
by circulating the oil through the oil pump. ECU controls the electric cooling fans with three cooling fan
relays to improve the engine torque and air conditioning performance.
