ION:
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.
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.
How
to
Add
Coolant to the Coolant
Recovery
Tank
If you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant
level isn’t at or above the
FULL
mark,
add
a
50/50
mixture
of
clean
water
(preferably distilled) and a
proper coolant at the coolant recovery tank. (See
“Engine Coolant” in the Index for more information
about
the
proper coolant mixture.)
Adding only plain water
to
your cooling system
can be dangerous. Plain water, or
some
other
liquid like alcohol, can boil before the proper
coolant mixture will. Your vehicle’s coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant
mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture,
your engine could get too hot but you wouldn’t
get the overheat warning. Your engine could
catch fire and you or others could be burned.
Use
a
50/50
mixture of clean water and
a
proper coolant.
