Cooling System
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam com-
ing from under the hood, do not open the
hood until the radiator has had time to cool.
Never try to open a cooling system pressure
cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
Engine Coolant Checks
Check the engine coolant (antifreeze) protec-
tion every 12 months (before the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable). If the en-
gine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or rusty in
appearance, the system should be drained,
flushed and refilled with fresh engine coolant
(antifreeze). Check the front of the A/C con-
denser (if equipped) or radiator for any accumu-
lation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty, clean by
gently spraying water from a garden hose ver-
tically down the face of the A/C condenser (if
equipped) or the back of the radiator core.
Check the engine cooling system hoses for
brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, and tight-
ness of the connection at the coolant recovery
bottle and radiator. Inspect the entire system for
leaks.
With the engine at normal operating tempera-
ture (but not running), check the cooling system
pressure cap for proper vacuum sealing by
draining a small amount of engine coolant (an-
tifreeze) from the radiator drain cock. If the cap
is sealing properly, the engine coolant (anti-
freeze) will begin to drain from the coolant
recovery bottle. DO NOT REMOVE THE
COOLANT PRESSURE CAP WHEN THE
COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT.
Cooling System – Drain, Flush, And Refill
If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or
contains a considerable amount of sediment,
clean and flush with a reliable cooling system
cleaner. Follow with a thorough rinsing to re-
move all deposits and chemicals. Properly dis-
pose of the old engine coolant (antifreeze)
solution.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the
proper maintenance intervals.
Selection Of Coolant
Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts”
in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further informa-
tion.
