As this occurs, the coolant will flow out of the reservoir and into the system, triggering that low coolant lamp.

Ys, the variable speed fan will run on this car even with key off. It's also sophisticated enough to know how not to kill your battery, so no worries.

Thanks, Bill. Hearing this from you sets my mind at ease.
So, is the overheat condition normal as well, though?
