CAUTION:
{
You can be burned if you spill coolant on
hot engine parts. Coolant contains
ethylene glycol and it will burn if the
engine parts are hot enough. Do not spill
coolant on a hot engine.
1. You can remove the Intercooler System
pressure cap when the Intercooler System,
including the upper intercooler hoses, are no
306
longer hot. Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise about one-quarter of a turn. If
you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. This will
allow any pressure still left to be vented.
2. Then keep turning the pressure cap slowly,
and remove it.
3. Add the proper DEX-COOL
to the fill neck, until there is coolant visible in
the horizontal tube section of the fill neck.
4. With the Intercooler System pressure cap off,
start the engine and let it run for a couple of
minutes. Watch out for the engine cooling fan.
Turn the engine off.
By this time, the coolant level inside the fill
neck may be lower. If the level drops to where
coolant is no longer visible in the horizontal
tube section of the fill neck, with the engine off
add more of the DEX-COOL
mixture to the fill neck until the level is again
visible in the horizontal tube section.
5. Then replace the pressure cap. Be sure the
pressure cap is hand-tight and fully seated.
If the coolant is not at the proper level when the
system cools down again, see your retailer.
