Warning
An under bonnet electric fan can
start up even when the engine is
not running and can cause injury.
Keep hands, clothing, and tools
away from any under bonnet
electric fan.
{
Warning
Do not touch heater or radiator
hoses, or other engine parts.
They may be very hot and can
burn you. Do not run the engine if
there is a leak; all coolant could
leak out. That could cause an
engine fire and can burn you. Fix
any leak before driving the
vehicle.
The engine cooling system in the
vehicle is filled with DexCool
®
engine coolant mixture. This coolant
needs to be checked and changed
at appropriate levels. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants
and refer to the
Service & Warranty booklet.
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,
see
.
Checking Coolant
The vehicle must be on a level
surface when checking the coolant
level.
Check the coolant level in the
coolant surge tank when the engine
is cold.
When cold, the coolant level should
be within the cross-hatched area on
the front of the coolant surge tank,
or just below the rib. If not, see
“
Adding Coolant
”
further in this
section.

{
Warning
Steam and scalding liquids from a
hot cooling system are under
pressure. Turning the pressure
cap, even a little, can cause them
to come out at high speed and
you could be burned. Never turn
the cap when the cooling system,
including the pressure cap, is hot.
Wait for the cooling system and
pressure cap to cool.
