{
CAUTION:
Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine
parts, can be very hot. Do not touch them. If
you do, you can be burned.
Do not 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.
The coolant level should
be at or above the FULL
COLD mark. 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.
If there seems to be no leak, start the engine again.
The engine cooling fan speed should increase when idle
speed is doubled by pushing the accelerator pedal
down. If it doesn't, your vehicle needs service. Turn off
the engine.
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.
Notice: When adding coolant, it is important that
you use only DEX-COOL
If coolant other than DEX-COOL
the system, premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the engine
coolant will require change sooner — at 30,000 miles
(50 000 km) or 24 months, whichever occurs first.
Damage caused by the use of coolant other
®
than DEX-COOL is not covered by your new vehicle
warranty.
