Cooling System

When you decide it’s safe to lift the hood, here’s what
you’ll see:

A. Coolant Surge Tank with Pressure Cap

B. Two Electric Engine Cooling Fans

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 surge tank is boiling,
don’t do anything else until it cools down.
