Purpose, Function

• When the engine coolant temperature is low, the thermostat blocks the engine coolant passage between the radiator and engine. As a result, because engine coolant cycles without passing through the radiator, warming is promoted.

Construction

• The thermostat is installed to the thermostat case on the left front side of the engine.
