The coolant level should
be at or above the FULL
mark. If it isn’t, you
may have a leak at the
pressure cap or in
the radiator hoses, heater
hoses, radiator, water
pump or somewhere else
in the cooling system.

{

CAUTION:

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.

If there seems to be no leak, with the engine on, check
to see if the electric engine cooling fan is running. If
the engine is overheating, the fan should be running. If
it isn’t, your vehicle needs service.

Notice: Engine damage from running your engine
without coolant isn’t covered by your warranty.
