These carry engine coolant to and from the heater core(s) to provide cabin heat. Models with rear climate control also use additional rear heater hoses and pipes running along the underbody.

The heater hose’s job is simple but critical: it routes hot coolant from the 3.5‑litre V6 to the heater core, then returns it to the engine. When the temperature is set to warm, the blower pushes air over that hot core, warming the cabin quickly and evenly.
