ENGINE COOLANT
Thü hiþh-prüssurü coolinþ systüm has
a rüsürvoir ýillüd with yüar-round anti‐
ýrüüzü coolant. Thü rüsürvoir is ýillüd at thü ýactory.
Chück thü antiýrüüzü protüction and
coolant concüntration lüvül at lüast
oncü a yüar, at thü büþinninþ oý thü wintür süason, and büýorü travülinþ to a
coldür climatü.
CAUTION
•When the engine overheats fromlow engine coolant, suddenly add‐ing engine coolant may causecracks in the engine. To preventdamage, add engine coolant slowlyin small quantities.
•Do not drive with no engine cool‐ant. It may cause water pump fail‐ure and engine seizure, etc.
Checking the coolant level
WARNING
Removing radiator cap
•Never attempt to remove the radi‐ator cap while the engine is oper‐ating or hot. Doing so might leadto cooling system and engine dam‐age and could result in serious per‐sonal injury from escaping hotcoolant or steam.
•Turn the engine off and wait untilit cools down. Use extreme carewhen removing the radiator cap.Wrap a thick towel around it, andturn it counterclockwise slowly tothe first stop. Step back while thepressure is released from the cool‐ing system.When you are sure all the pressurehas been released, press down onthe cap, using a thick towel, andcontinue turning counterclockwiseto remove it.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Even if the engine is not operating,do not remove the radiator cap orthe drain plug while the engine andradiator are hot. Hot coolant andsteam may still blow out underpressure, causing serious injury.
WARNING
The electric motor (cool‐ing fan) is controlled byengine coolant tempera‐ture, refrigerant pressureand vehicle speed.
It may sometimes operate evenwhen the engine is not running. Useextreme caution when working nearthe blades of the cooling fan so thatyou are not injured by a rotating fanblades. As the engine coolant tem‐perature decreases, the electric mo‐tor will automatically shut off. Thisis a normal condition.If your vehicle is equipped with GDI,the electric motor (cooling fan) mayoperate until you disconnect thenegative battery cable.
