The coolant level should be at or above the
COLD
mark
on the overflow hose in the coolant bottle.
If it isn’t, you may have a leak in the radiator hoses,
heater hoses, radiator, water pump
or
somewhere else in
the cooling system.
r
r
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.

NOTICE:
r
Engine damage from running your engine
without coolant isn’t covered
by
your warranty.
If
there seems to be no leak, with the engine on, check to
see if the electric engine fans are running.
If
the engine
is
overheating, both fans should be running.
If
they
aren’t, your vehicle needs service.
