3. Fill the cooling system with
the proper DEX-COOL coolant
mixture, up to the base of the
filler neck. See What to use
for more information about the
proper coolant mixture. Rinse or
wipe any spilled coolant from the
engine and the compartment.
4. Then fill the coolant recovery
tank to the COLD FILL line.
5. Install the coolant recovery
tank cap and the pressure cap.
After a day or two of driving,
when the engine is cold, check
the coolant level in the recovery
tank. If it is low, refill it to the
COLD FILL line.
If the coolant in the recovery tank
is constantly low, have a dealer
service department inspect the
vehicle for leaks.
Notice: 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.
