Caution
■ The heater hoses and radiator
hoses as well as other engine
parts may be hot. Do not touch
them, otherwise, you may be
burned.
■ If there is any leak, the engine
must not be switched on,
otherwise, all coolant may be
lost, causing burns. Before
driving the vehicle, have the
leaks repaired.
Overheating with steam
Caution
■ The steam generated by engine
overheating can cause serious
burns, even if you open the
engine compartment just a little
bit. Keep yourself away from the
engine when observing steam
emission. Switch off the engine,
ask the passengers to leave the
vehicle and wait for it to cool
down. Before opening the
engine compartment, wait until
the coolant steam signals are
extinguished.
■ If the vehicle continues in
movement while the engine is
overheated, the liquids can
escape due to the high
pressure. You and other
persons may be seriously
burned. Switch off the
overheated engine, leave the
vehicle and wait for it to cool
down.
Engine cooling fan
If there is no leak visible, check for
engine fan operation. Your vehicle is
equipped with electrical fan. If there is
engine overheating, the fan must be
actuated. If the fan does not actuate,
repairs are necessary. Switch off the
engine. If the problem is not identified
but the coolant level is not at
maximum, add to the surge tank a
mixture of potable water and additive
for radiator (long duration – orange
colour) ACDelco (35% to 50% ratio of
additive). Switch on the engine when
the coolant level is at maximum. If the
overheating warning signal is on,
consult Chevrolet dealers.
Caution
The fans and other engine
movable parts may cause severe
wounds. Keep your hands and
pieces of cloth far from movable
parts while the engine is
operating.
Caution
■ The vapours and the scalding
liquids that come from the
cooling system while boiling can
explode and cause serious
burns. They are under pressure,
and if the surge tank cover is
opened even partially, the
vapours may be expelled at high
speed. Never remove the surge
tank cover while the engine and
the cooling system are hot. If it
