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.
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,
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 cooling fans are running.
If
the
engine
is
overheating, both fans should be running. If
they aren’t, your vehicle needs service.
