If the coolant inside the coolant recovery tank is boiling, don't do anythingelse until it cools down. A CAUTION: Heater and radiatorhoses, and otherengine 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 thevehicle. 1 NOTICE: The coolant level should be at or above the COLD mark. 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. 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.
