Cooling System Description and Operation: Radiator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Suzuki Swift +, 2005 Pontiac Wave, and 2005 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This vehicle has a lightweight tube-and-fin aluminum radiator. Two models of radiators are available: small, standard, and heavy duty. The 2 models vary only by capacity. Plastic tanks are mounted on the right and the left sides of the radiator core.
On vehicles equipped with automatic transaxles, the transaxle fluid cooler lines run through the left radiator tank. A radiator drain cock is on this radiator.
To drain the cooling system, open the drain cock.
