Engine Coolant

Checking the engine coolant
NOTE: Be sure to read and understand
Precautions When Servicing Your
Vehicle at the beginning of this chapter.
The cooling fan is automatic and may
come on at any time. Always disconnect
the negative terminal of the battery before
working near the fan.
Your vehicle's coolant protects your engine from
overheating in the summer and from freezing in
the winter. Check the level of the coolant at least
once a month. Simply look at the engine coolant
reservoir located in the engine compartment. To
locate the reservoir, see the diagram of your
vehicle's engine under Engine Type, in this
chapter.
If the engine is hot, the reservoir should be
filled with engine coolant to the FULL mark,
and the radiator should be full.
