Vehicle Care

Cooling System

The cooling system allows the
engine to maintain the correct
working temperature.

1. Engine Cooling Fan (Out

of View)

2. Engine Coolant Surge Tank and

Pressure Cap

{

Warning

An electric engine cooling fan
under the hood can start up even
when the engine is not running
and can cause injury. Keep
hands, clothing, and tools away
from any underhood electric fan.

{

Warning

Heater and radiator hoses, and
other engine parts, can be very
hot. Do not touch them. If you do,
you can be burned.

Do not 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.

{

Caution

Using coolant other than
DEX-COOL

®

can cause

premature engine, heater core,
or radiator corrosion. In addition,
the engine coolant could require
changing sooner. Any repairs
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Always use
DEX-COOL (silicate-free) coolant
in the vehicle.

Engine Coolant

The cooling system in the vehicle is
filled with DEX-COOL engine
coolant. This coolant is designed to
remain in the vehicle for 5 years or
240 000 km (150,000 mi), whichever
occurs first.

The following explains the cooling
system and how to check and add
coolant when it is low. If there is a
problem with engine overheating,
see
