Checking Coolant - Chevrolet KODIAK 2005 Owner's Manual

If you have to add coolant more than four times a year,
have your dealer check your cooling system.
Notice: If you use the proper coolant, you do not
have to add extra inhibitors or additives which claim
to improve the system. These can be harmful.

Checking Coolant

The coolant surge tank is located in the engine
compartment on the driver's side of the vehicle.
CAUTION:
{
Turning the surge tank pressure cap when the
engine and radiator are hot can allow steam
and scalding liquids to blow out and burn you
badly. Never turn the surge tank pressure
cap — even a little — when the engine and
radiator are hot.
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface.
When your engine is cold, the coolant level should be
at the FULL COLD mark or higher.
See Low Coolant Warning Light on page 3-35 for further
information.
If the low coolant warning
light comes on in the
instrument panel cluster
and stays on, it means you
are low on engine coolant.
