Understanding the System

How Your Cooling System Works

Your engine produces enormous heat when running. The cooling system keeps it within safe operating temperature by circulating coolant through the engine block, absorbing heat, and dissipating it through the radiator.

1
Water Pump
Circulates coolant through the engine and radiator
2
Radiator
Dissipates heat from the coolant into the ambient air
3
Thermostat
Regulates coolant flow to maintain optimal engine temperature
4
Coolant (Antifreeze)
The fluid that carries heat out of the engine
5
Radiator Hoses & Belts
Carry coolant and drive the water pump
6
Coolant Reservoir
Holds overflow coolant as the system expands and contracts
