Coolant:
Coolant absorbs heat from the engine and trans-
fers it to the air at the radiator. If the coola nt level
becomes low, the engine overheats and may suffer
damage. Check the coolant level each day before
operating the vehicle, and replenish coolant if the
level is low. Change the coolant in acco rdance with
the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
