fasteners that hold the tray to the engine
cover.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

Do not remove the radiator cap while engine
and radiator are still hot. Always check coolant
level visually at the see-through coolant
reservoir.
NOTE: Your chassis engine cooling system is
filled with special extended-life coolant
that is not the same as common anti-
freeze available at retail outlets.
The coolant system MUST be refilled or
topped up with the same type of coolant
as equipped to maintain the special long-
life properties.
NOTICE
When refilling the coolant system of a
vehicle equipped with a rear auxiliary
automotive heater and motoraid water
heater, be sure to allow for additional
coolant capacity of the heater and its
supply and return hoses.
Further Information
Refer to the chassis manual in your InfoCase
for information and precautions on filling,
servicing, and checking the fluid level.
CHASSIS BATTERY
DISCONNECT SWITCH
The Chassis Battery Disconnect switch
disconnects most chassis electrical loads from
the chassis (starting) batteries to avoid discharge
by constant draws such as engine computers,
radio clock, sensors, etc. (except the electric
entrance step). This feature is intended to help
conserve battery charge during storage.
