Cooling System






Coolant Hose Connection Diagram

Risk of scalding due to hot steam and hot coolant.

The coolant system is under pressure when the engine is warm.

Cover the coolant reservoir cap with a cloth and then open it slowly to release the pressure.

Danger of personal injury due to the coolant fan turning on by itself.

Disconnect the connectors before working near the fan shroud.

Secure all hose connections with hose clamps of the same type as those equipped by the factory, refer to the Parts Catalog.

The arrows on the coolant pipes and ends of coolant hoses must align.

Blue = large coolant circuit.

Red = small coolant circuit.

Orange = coolant circuit for the charge air cooler.

Brown = heating circuit.

The arrows show the coolant flow direction.
