could catch fire and you or others
could be burned. Use a 50/
50 mixture of clean, drinkable
water and DEX-COOL coolant.
Caution
In cold weather, water can freeze
and crack the engine, radiator,
heater core, and other parts. Use
the recommended coolant and
the proper coolant mixture.
Warning
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. Remove the coolant surge tank
pressure cap when the cooling
system, including the coolant
surge tank pressure cap and
upper radiator hose, is no
longer hot.
Turn the pressure cap slowly
anticlockwise 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 out the discharge hose.
2. Then keep turning the pressure
cap slowly and remove it.
Vehicle Care
3. Fill the coolant surge tank with
the proper mixture to the
indicated level mark.

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
mixture to the coolant surge tank
until the level reaches the
indicated level mark.
5. Replace the pressure cap tightly.
6. Verify coolant level after the
engine is shut off and the
coolant is cold. If necessary,
repeat coolant fill procedure
Steps 1 6.
If the coolant still is not at the
proper level when the system
cools down again, see your
dealer.
