Engine Cooling: Overview

The engine cooling system maintains the engine within an optimum temperature range under changing ambient and engine operating conditions. The system is a pressurized coolant expansion tank system with continuous bleeds to separate air from the engine coolant and prevent the formation of air locks. The engine cooling system also provides:

• Heating for:
  • The passenger compartment

  • The electric throttle.

    For additional information, refer to: INTAKE AIR DISTRIBUTION AND FILTERING

• Cooling for:
  • The oil cooler

    For additional information, refer to: ENGINE

  • The engine
