Cooling System

When you decide it’s safe to lift the hood, here’s what
you’ll see:

A. Electric Engine Cooling Fans

B. Radiator Pressure Cap

C. Coolant Recovery Tank

CAUTION:

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

If the coolant inside the coolant recovery tank is boiling,
don’t do anything else until it cools down.

When it is cool, remove the coolant recovery tank cap
and look at the dipstick. When the engine is cold, the
coolant level should be at the FULL COLD mark.
