WARNING
An electric engine cooling fan
under the bonnet can start up
even when the engine is not
running and can cause injury.
Keep hands, clothing, and tools
away from any underbonnet
electric fan.
{
WARNING
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 fire, and you
could be burned. Get any leak
fixed before you drive the vehicle.
Notice: Using coolant other than
DEX-COOL
®
can cause premature
engine, heater core, or radiator
corrosion. In addition, the engine
coolant may require changing
sooner, at the first maintenance
service after each 30,000 miles
(50 000 km) or 24 months,
whichever occurs first. Any
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Always use
DEX-COOL
®
(silicate-free) coolant
in the vehicle.
Engine Coolant
The cooling system in the vehicle is
filled with DEX-COOL engine
coolant. See
Scheduled
Maintenance on page 11 ‑ 1 and

Lubricants on page 11

The following explains the cooling
system and how to check and add
coolant when it is low. If there is a
problem with engine overheating,
