He !r : I r8 hoses, ar other r 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. If there seems to be no leak, with the engine on, check to see if the electric engine cooling fans are running. If the engine is overheating, both fans should be running. If they aren't, your vehicle needs service. 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 onlyDEX-COOL@(silicate-free) coolant. If coolant other than DEX-COOL@is added to 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@ not covered by your new is vehicle warranty. How to Add Coolant to the Coolant Recovery Tank If you haven't found a problem yet, but the coolant level isn't at the COLD mark, add a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL@ engine coolant at the coolant recovery tank. See Engine Coolant on page 5-30 for more information. 5-38
