An electric engine cooling fan under the hood
can start up even when the engine is not
running and can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing and tools away from any underhood
electric fan.
If the coolant inside the coolant recovery tank is boiling,
don't do anything else until it cools down. The vehicle
should be parked on a level surface.
The coolant level should
be at or above the COLD
mark on the coolant
recovery tank. To check
the coolant level, look
for the COLD mark on the
side of the coolant
recovery tank that faces
the engine.
Check to make sure that the coolant level is up to the
COLD fill level on the side of the coolant recovery tank.
If it isn't, you may have a leak at the pressure cap or
in the radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator, water pump
or somewhere else in the cooling system.
I
Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine
parts, can be very hot. Don't touch them. If you
do, you can be burned.
Don't run the engine if there is a leak. If you run
the engine, it could lose all coolant. That could
cause an engine fire, and you could be burned.
Get any leak fixed before you drive the vehicle.
If there seems to be no leak, with the engine on, check
to see if the electric engine cooling fans are running.
If the engine is overheating, both fans should be
running. If they aren't, your vehicle needs service.
Notice: Engine damage from running your engine
without coolant isn't covered by your warranty.
See "Overheated Engine Protection Operating
Mode'' in the Index for information on driving to a
safe place in an emergency.
