Radiator

This vehicle has a lightweight tube-and-fin aluminum radiator.
Be careful not to damage the radiator core when servicing.
Y220_06005

Water pump

The belt-driven centrifugal water pump consists of an impeller,
a drive shaft, and a belt pulley. The impeller is supported by a
completely sealed bearing.
The water pump is serviced as an assembly and, therefore,
cannot be disassembled.

Coolant reservoir

Notice
Scalding hot coolant and steam could be blown out under
pressure, which could cause serious injury. Never remove
the coolant reservoir cap when the engine and radiator
are hot.
The coolant reservoir is a transparent plastic reservoir, similar
to the windshield washer reservoir. The coolant reservoir is
connected to the radiator by a hose and to the engine cooling
system by another hose. As the vehicle is driven, the engine

coolant heats and expands. The portion of the engine coolant
displaced by this expansion flows from the radiator and the
engine into the coolant reservoir. The air trapped in the radia-
tor and the engine is degassed into the coolant reservoir.
When the engine stops, the engine coolant cools and
contracts. The displaced engine coolant is then drawn back
into the radiator and the engine. This keeps the radiator filled
with the coolant to the desired level at all times and increases
the cooling efficiency. Maintain the coolant level between the
MIN and MAX marks on the coolant reservoir when the sys-
tem is cold.
