CAUTION:

Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine
parts, can be very hot. Don’t touch them. If you
do, you can be burned.

Don’t 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.

NOTICE:

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

NOTICE:

When adding coolant, it is important that you use
only DEX

R

(silicate

free) coolant.

If coolant other than DEX

system, premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the
engine coolant will require change sooner

If there seems to be no leak, start the engine again. See if
the engine cooling fan speed increases when idle speed is
doubled by pushing the accelerator pedal down. If it
doesn’t, your vehicle needs service. Turn off the engine.
