Buick Encore: Cooling System

The cooling system allows the engine to maintain the correct working temperature.

Cooling System

  1. Engine Cooling Fan (Out of View)
  2. Engine Coolant Surge Tank and Pressure Cap

Warning

An underhood electric fan can start up even when the engine is not running and can cause injury.

Keep hands, clothing, and tools away from any underhood electric fan.

Warning

Do not touch heater or radiator hoses, or other engine parts.

They can be very hot and can burn you. Do not run the engine if there is a leak; all coolant could leak out. That could cause an engine fire and can burn you. Fix any leak before driving the vehicle.
