CAUTION:
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 fined before you drive the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Engine damage if you keep running your engine
without coolant isn't covered by your warranty.
See "Overheated Engine Protection Operating
Mode" in the Index.
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.
How to Add Coolant to the Coolant
Recovery Tank
If you haven't found
a
problem yet, but the coolant level
isn't at the COLD mark, add a 50/50 mixture of clean
wuter (preferably distilled) and DEX-COOL@ engine
coolant at the coolant recovery tank. (See "Engine
Coolant"
in
the Index
for
more information.)
Adding only plain water to your cooling system
can be dangerous. Plain water, or some other
liquid like alcohol, can boil before the proper
coolant mixture
wi l l .
Your vehicle's coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant
mixture. With plain water
or
the wrong mixture,
your engine could get too hot but you wouldn't
get the overheat warning. Your engine could
catch fire and you or others could
be
burned.
Use a 50/50 mixture of clean water and
DEX-COOL@ coolant.
