2. Then keep turning the pressure
cap slowly and remove it.
3. Fill the coolant surge tank
with the proper DEX-COOL
coolant mixture to the indicated
level mark.
4. With the coolant surge tank
pressure cap off, 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
may be lower. If the level is
lower, add more of the proper
®
DEX-COOL coolant mixture
to the coolant surge tank until
the level reaches the indicated
level mark.
5. Then replace the pressure cap.
Be sure the pressure cap is
hand-tight.

Check the level in the coolant surge
tank when the cooling system has
cooled down. If the coolant is not
at the proper level, repeat Steps 1
through 3 and reinstall the pressure
cap. If the coolant still is not at the
proper level when the system cools
down again, see your dealer.

Engine Overheating

The vehicle has an indicator to warn
of engine overheating.
There is an engine coolant
temperature warning light on
the vehicle's instrument panel.
See Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge on page 5 15.
If the decision is made not to lift the
hood when this warning appears,
but instead get service help right
away. See Roadside Service
(U.S. and Canada) on page 13 8
or Roadside Service (Mexico) on
page 13 11.
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 fans are running. If the
engine is overheating, both fans
should be running. If they are not,
do not continue to run the engine
and have the vehicle serviced.
Notice: Engine damage from
running the engine without
coolant is not covered by the
warranty.
Notice: If the engine catches fire
because of being driven with no
coolant, the vehicle can be badly
damaged. The costly repairs
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
