Heating AC and Engine Cooling
Heating, air conditioning (AC) and engine cooling require a radiator to transfer heat. Heating a cabin requires heat to be transferred from an engine block. Engine cooling blows the heat out of the engine. AC uses refrigerants to cool air.

Just keep the coolant level up and it should take care of itself. If you have run out of coolant, find out why. After you have repaired the problem, fill the radiator as best you can, fill the coolant reservoir to the full line then watch the reservoir. If the level drops, add more before you start the engine. The coolant system will purge itself of any air if there are no leaks.

Open the glove box about half way 2. Hold you hands on the top and bottom of the glovebox, and pull up on the glovebox. You will have to pull really hard, but it will eventually come off. 3. Right behind the glovebox just left of the center of the glovebox is a long panel. Push on the tab at the bottom until it is pushed all the way in and the tab releases at the bottom. 4. Pull that cover off 5. The Cabin Air Filter is straight ahead. You will have to pull it out and bend it towards the passenger side of the car. Just go slow, and it will eventually come out.
