Caution
If the air cleaner/filter is off, dirt can
easily get into the engine, which
could damage it. Always have the air
cleaner/filter in place when driving.
Cooling System (Engine)
The engine cooling system allows the
engine to maintain the correct working
temperature. Vehicles equipped with
Electrified Propulsion (E-Ray) have additonal
cooling systems. See Cooling System

An underhood electric fan can start up
even when the engine is not running and

electric fan.
{Warning
Do not touch heater or radiator hoses,

engine if there is a leak; all coolant could
leak out. That could cause an engine fire
and can burn you. Fix any leak before
driving the vehicle.

The cooling system in the vehicle is filled
with DEX-COOL engine coolant. See
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0320.
The fluid requires changing at certain
intervals. See Maintenance Schedule 0316.
The following explains the cooling system
and how to check and add coolant when it
is low. If there is a problem with engine
overheating, see Engine Overheating 0261.
