and look at the dipstick.
The coolant level should
be 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.
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.
If there seems to be no leak, with the engine on, 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.
