If the temperature rises above this temperature, the battery cooling system turns on the air conditioning compressor and cools the coolant until the correct temperature is reached. If the temperature falls below this temperature, a high voltage heater, located in the battery, heats the coolant until the correct temperature is reached. The high voltage battery cooling system reservoir has a tamper resistant cap. The high voltage battery coolant should only be serviced by a qualified technician. The coolant needs to be replaced at the appropriate interval. See Maintenance Schedule on page 11-2. Checking Coolant The vehicle must be on a level surface when checking the coolant level. The high voltage battery coolant reservoir is in the underhood compartment. See Underhood Compartment Overview on page 10-6. Check to see if coolant is visible in the high voltage battery coolant reservoir. If coolant is visible but the
