Is It Time for Service on My 2014 Scion xD Cooling System?

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Scion xD radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it's still extremely important. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2014 Scion xD is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. To keep your radiator functioning, Scion recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.

Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.
