When the engine is
cold, the coolant
level should be at
least up to the FULL
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:

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.

NOTICE:

Engine damage from running your engine
without coolant isn’t covered by your warranty.

NOTICE:

When adding coolant, it is important that you use
only DEX

-

COOL

R

(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

R

is not

covered by your new vehicle warranty.

If there seems to be no leak, start the engine again.
See if the engine cooling fan speed increases when idle
speed is doubled by pushing the accelerator pedal
down. If it doesn’t, your vehicle needs service. Turn off
the engine.
