Radiator Pressure Cap

Notice: The radiator cap on your vehicle is a

pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to

prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage

from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap line

up with the overﬂow tube on the radiator ﬁller neck.

The radiator pressure cap is located in the front of the

engine compartment on the passenger’s side of the

vehicle. See Engine Compartment Overview on

page 5-12 for more information on location.

Engine Overheating

There is a coolant temperature gage and a warning light

on the instrument panel cluster that indicate an

overheated engine condition. See Engine Coolant

Temperature Gage on page 3-38 and Engine Coolant

Temperature Warning Light on page 3-38 for more

information.

In addition, if your vehicle is equipped with a Driver

Information Center (DIC), you will ﬁnd an ENGINE

COOLANT HOT and a REDUCED POWER STOP

WHEN SAFE message displayed on the DIC. See DIC

Warnings and Messages on page 3-53 for more

information.

If Steam Is Coming From Your Engine

{CAUTION:

Steam from an overheated engine can burn

you badly, even if you just open the hood. Stay

away from the engine if you see or hear steam

coming from it. Just turn it off and get

everyone away from the vehicle until it cools

down. Wait until there is no sign of steam or

coolant before you open the hood.

If you keep driving when your engine is

overheated, the liquids in it can catch ﬁre. You

or others could be badly burned. Stop your

engine if it overheats, and get out of the

vehicle until the engine is cool.

See Overheated Engine Protection Operating

Mode on page 5-26 for information on driving

to a safe place in an emergency.
