Service overview

WHAT TO KNOW

The radiator transfers heat from coolant to outside air. Leaks, damaged fins or restricted flow can reduce its effectiveness. A radiator inspection also considers hoses and airflow because overheating is not always caused by the radiator itself.

When to have it checked

  • Coolant around the radiator
  • Visible radiator damage
  • High engine temperature

Planning your service

Schedule service for leaks or damage. For overheating, stop safely and let the engine cool; never remove a hot radiator or coolant cap.
