 Do not open the radiator cap immediately after stopping the engine.Do so will result in
hot steam gushing out.

touch the coolant sub-tank.
Check that the sub-tank coolant level is in between FULL and LOW. If the sub-tank coolant is
lower than the LOW level, add coolant to the sub-tank and radiator.

< Note >
 Use GM SPEC 6277M or equivalent.
 Use a 50:50 mix of Long Life Coolant (LLC).
 Always use potable water when mixing the coolant.
 Use LLC with the same mixture ratio in the coolant
sub-tank.
 Do not increase the LLC mixture ratio unless necessary. Doing so could result in overheating
or another fault/malfunction.
