Cooling System

When you decide it is safe to lift the hood, here is what
you will see:

A. Coolant Recovery Tank

B. Electric Engine Cooling Fan(s)

C. Radiator Pressure Cap

{

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 recovery tank is boiling,
do not do anything else until it cools down. The
vehicle should be parked on a level surface.

When the engine is cold, the coolant level should be at
or above the FULL COLD mark on the coolant
recovery tank. If it is not, there may be a leak at the
pressure cap or in the radiator hoses, heater hoses,
radiator, water pump, or somewhere else in the cooling
system.
