CAUTION:

You can be burned if you spill coolant on
hot engine parts. Coolant contains
ethylene glycol, and it will burn if the
engine parts are hot enough. Do not spill
coolant on a hot engine.

Occasionally check the coolant level in the
radiator. For information on how to add coolant to
the radiator, see Cooling System on page 426.

Radiator Pressure Cap

Notice: The radiator cap on your vehicle is a
pressure-type cap and must be tightly
installed to prevent coolant loss and possible
engine damage from overheating. Be sure
the cap is properly closed.

See Engine Compartment Overview on page 410
for more information on location.

Engine Overheating

You will find an engine coolant temperature gage
on your vehicle’s instrument panel. See Engine
Coolant Temperature Gage
on page 217.

Your vehicle may also have an ENGINE
COOLANT HOT message displayed in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See DIC Warnings
and Messages
on page 230.
