It's important to know a little bit about your cooling system so that you can know when to have it serviced.
What Is the Cooling System?
Your vehicle is a water-cooled system that uses an anti-freeze liquid called coolant to help reduce the temperature inside the engine. The coolant is pumped through the engine by the water pump, and there are a few different ways that your coolant system can fail.
