Cooling System

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

A. Electric Engine Cooling Fan

B. Engine Coolant Recovery Tank

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,
don’t do anything else until it cools down. The vehicle
should be parked on a level surface.

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.
