FULL COLD mark.

Steam and scalding liquids from
a hot cooling system can blow
out and burn you badly. Never
turn the cap when the engine
and cooling system are hot.

If the surge tank is empty, see
"Engine Overheating" in Section 5
for the proper fill procedure.
If the coolant level is low, add a
50/50 mixture of water and
®
DEX-COOL coolant to bring the
level to the proper mark.
Then replace the cap. Be sure the
cap is tight.
See the Maintenance Schedule
booklet to find out when the
coolant must be replaced.
CAUTION
Under some conditions the
ethylene glycol in engine
coolant is combustible. To
avoid being burned, do not
spill coolant on the exhaust
system or on hot engine parts.
If you have any doubt, have this
operation performed by a
qualified technician.
NOTICE
The surge tank cap is a
pressure-type cap and must be
tightly installed to prevent cool-
ant loss and possible engine
damage from overheating.
CAUTION
Used coolant should not be
disposed of with regular trash.
