How the Cooling System Works

Your vehicle’s cooling system circulates a fluid called coolant (or antifreeze) through the engine and radiator to control temperature. Here’s how it functions:

1. Coolant Circulation

The coolant absorbs heat from the engine and carries it to the radiator.

2. Radiator Cooling

The radiator disperses heat through thin tubes and fins. As air moves through, a fan pushes the hot air away, cooling the liquid.

3. Return Flow

The cooled liquid then returns to the engine to repeat the process, preventing overheating and maintaining optimal performance.

A properly functioning cooling system ensures consistent engine temperature, prevents rust and corrosion, and improves fuel efficiency.
