Cooling System
When you decide it’s safe to lift the
hood, here’s what you’ll see:
(A)
Coolant recovery tank
(B)
Radiator pressure cap
(C)
Electric engine fan
If the coolant inside the coolant
recovery tank is boiling, don’t do
anything else until it cools down.
The coolant level should be at or above
the
COLD
mark.
If it isn’t,
you
may have a leak in the
radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator,
water pump or somewhere else in the
cooling system.

CAUTION
I
Heater and radiator hoses,
and other engine parts, can
1;,
;cry
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
I
you drive the vehicle.

If there seems to be
no
leak, check to
see
if
the electric engine fan
is
running.
If
the engine is overheating, the fan
should be running.
If
it isn’t, your
vehicle needs service.
How to
Add
Coolant to the Coolant
Recovery
Tank:
If
you haven’t found a problem yet, but
the coolant level isn’t at or above
COLD, add a
50/50
mixture
of
clean
water
(preferably distilled) and a proper
antifreeze at the coolant recovery
tank.
(See the
Index
under
Engine
Coolant
for more information abaut the proper
coolant
mix.)
