tank bottom chamber through
the service port to
approximately half.

pressure cap off and the surge
tank service port cap open,
start the engine and let it run
until you can feel the upper
radiator hose getting hot.
Watch out for the engine
cooling fan.
By this time, the coolant level
inside the coolant surge tank
top chamber may be lower.
If the level is lower, add more
of the proper DEX-COOL
coolant mixture to the surge
tank top chamber until the level
reaches the bottom of the
fill neck.
5. Replace the surge tank
pressure cap tightly and close
the surge tank service port cap.
Caution
If the pressure cap is not tightly
installed, coolant loss and
possible engine damage may
occur. Be sure the cap is properly
and tightly secured.
Check the level in the surge tank
top and bottom chambers when the
cooling system has cooled down.
If the coolant is not at the proper
levels, repeat Steps 1 3 and
reinstall the pressure cap and close
the service port. If the coolant still is
not at the proper levels when the
system cools down again, see your
dealer.

Engine Overheating

The vehicle has several indicators
to warn of the engine overheating.
There is an engine coolant
temperature gauge on the
instrument cluster. See Engine
Coolant Temperature Gauge 0 114.
Vehicle Care
The vehicle may also display a
message on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See Engine Cooling
System Messages 0 134.
If the decision is made not to lift the
hood when this warning appears,
get service help right away. See
Roadside Assistance
Program 0 351.
If the decision is made to lift the
hood, make sure the vehicle is
parked on a level surface.
Then check to see if the engine
cooling fan is running. If the engine
is overheating, the fan should be
running. If it is not, do not continue
to run the engine. Have the vehicle
serviced.
Caution
Running the engine without
coolant may cause damage or a
fire. Vehicle damage would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
