ENGINE COMPARTMENT
COOLANT
WARNING: Never remove filler caps
when the system is hot, as the
reservoir will be pressurized. Coolant and
steam can escape rapidly when the cap is
removed, causing injury.
WARNING: Antifreeze is highly
flammable. Do not allow antifreeze
to come into contact with open flames or
other sources of ignition (e.g. a hot engine)
- a fire may result.
WARNING: Unscrew the filler cap
slowly, allowing the pressure to
escape before removing completely.
WARNING: Engine coolant contains
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. WASH
HANDS AFTER HANDLING. See California
Proposition 65 Warning 0227.
Your Revero is unique in that unlike a
traditional vehicle, it has three separate
cooling systems to cool the engine, electric
drive components and the high voltage
battery.
The coolant levels for each reservoir should
be checked monthly. The levels should be
checked more frequently in high mileage
conditions. Always check the level when the
system is cold.
The coolant levels for the low temperature
and the high temperature reservoir bottles
should be filled to the molded tab seen
inside the bottle.
BATTERY COOLANT LEVEL
The level of fluid can be seen through the
translucent body of the reservoir. The fluid
level should be between the
MIN
and the
MAX
marks.
ELECTRIC DRIVE COMPONENTS AND
THE ENGINE COOLANT LEVELS
To check the coolant level, the filler cap
must be removed.
WARNING: Place your hand on the
lid of the coolant reservoir. If it feels
hot to the touch, do not attempt to open
the container. Severe burns may result.
Only proceed to open the container if the
container is warm to the touch.
The level of fluid must be in the mid level of
the molded tab. If the level of coolant falls
below the tab, the system must be filled
with the approved coolant specified by
Karma.
