If it isn’t, the coolant level should be indicated by a
CHECK
COOLANT
LEVEL message
on
the Driver
Information Center. If it
is,
you may have a leak in the
radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator, water
pump
or
somewhere else in the cooling system.
.
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 if you keep running your engine
without coolant isn’t covered by your warranty.
See “Overheated Engine Protection Operating
Mode” in the Index.
If there seems to be
no
leak, with the engine on, check to
see if the electric engine fans are running.
If
the engine
is overheating, both fans should be running. If they
aren’t, your vehicle needs service.
