The engine cooling system maintains the engine within an optimum temperature range under changing ambient and engine operating conditions. The system is a pressurized expansion tank system with continuous bleeds to separate air from the coolant and prevent the formation of air locks. The engine cooling system also provides
- Heating for
- The passenger compartment. For additional information, refer to «CLIMATE CONTROL»(ref-568412-S26723956182013072200000) .
- The throttle body.
- Cooling for
- The engine oil cooler. For additional information, refer to «ENGINE (V8 5.0L PETROL)»(ref-568451-S02839684112013072200000) or «ENGINE (V8 S/C 5.0L PETROL)»(ref-568453-S42061871202013072200000) .
- The transmission fluid cooler. For additional information, refer to «TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE COOLING (V8 5.0L PETROL/V8 S/C 5.0L PETROL/TDV6 3.0L DIESEL)»(ref-568463-S06704677722013072200000) .
