Engine Overheating - Chevrolet Enjoy Owner's Manual

4. With the coolant reservoir pressure
cap off, start the engine and let it run
until the upper radiator hose can be
felt getting hot. Watch out for the
engine cooling fan.
By this time, the coolant level
inside the coolant reservoir
lower. If the level is lower, add more
of the proper coolant to the coolant
reservoir until the level reaches
between the MIN and MAX lines.
5. Then replace the pressure cap. Be
sure the pressure cap is hand-tight.
Check the level in the reservoir when the
cooling system has cooled down. If the
coolant is not at the proper level, repeat
steps 1 to 3 and reinstall the pressure
cap. If the coolant still is not at the
proper level when the system cools
down again, see the CHEVROLET
retailer.
