Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine On the V8 engine you’ll see this:
1. Coolant recovery tank
2. Radiator pressure cap
3. Electric engine fans
A CAUTION:
An electric 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.
II
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.
The coolant level should be at or above
“FULL COLD.” 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.
A 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. I
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.
