The coolant level should
be at least up to the
FULL
COLD
mark.
If
it
isn’t,
you may have a leak at the
pressure cap or 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.
If there seems to be no leak, start the engine again.
The engine cooling fan speed should increase when idle
speed is doubled by pushing the accelerator pedal
down.
If
it doesn’t, your vehicle needs service. Turn off
the engine.
Notice:
Engine damage from running your engine
without coolant isn’t covered by your warranty.
Nofice:
When adding coolant,
it
is
important that
you use only
DEX-COOL@ (silicate-free) coolant.
If coolant other than DEX-COOL@
is
added to
the system, premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion may result.
In
addition, the engine
coolant will require change sooner
-
at
30,000
miles
(50
000
km) or 24 months, whichever occurs first.
Damage caused by the use of coolant other
than DEX-COOL@ is not covered by your new
vehicle warranty.
