Checking the engine coolant
*
[MC11800( ALL)01/96]
Your vehicle's engine coolant protects the engine
from overheating in the summer and from
freezing in the winter. Check the level of the
engine coolant at least once a month, but
preferably each time you stop for fuel. Simply
look at the engine coolant recovery reservoir
located in the engine compartment. To locate
this reservoir, see the diagram of your vehicle's
engine underEngine typesin this chapter.
*
[MC11850( ALL)01/96]
If the engine coolant has not been checked for a
long period of time the engine coolant reservoir
may eventually empty. If the engine coolant
reservoir empties, check the engine coolant level
in the radiator. Read the following warnings
before removing the radiator cap. If it is
necessary to fill the radiator, refer to theEngine
Coolant Refill Procedurein this chapter for
instructions.
[MC11900( M)01/96]
Your cooling system is of the coolant recovery
type. The engine coolant recovery reservoir is a
one-piece molded unit. Engine coolant in the
system expands with heat and overflows into the
engine coolant recovery reservoir. When the
system cools down, coolant is drawn back into
the radiator.
