Radiator Pressure Cap; Engine Overheating - Chevrolet IMPALA 2005 Owner's Manual

CAUTION:
{
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol,
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Do not spill coolant on a hot engine.
Occasionally check the coolant level in the radiator. For
information on how to add coolant to the radiator,
see Cooling System on page 5-34.

Radiator Pressure Cap

Notice: The radiator cap on your vehicle is a
pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to
prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage
from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap line
up with the overflow tube on the radiator filler neck.
The radiator pressure cap is located in the front of the
engine compartment on the passenger's side of the
vehicle, near the diagonal cross brace. See Engine
Compartment Overview on page 5-12 for more
information on location.

Engine Overheating

You will find a coolant temperature gage and a warning
message about a hot engine on your instrument panel
cluster. See Engine Coolant Temperature Gage on
page 3-34 and Hot Coolant Temperature Warning
Message on page 3-42.
