Problems on the Road
If the engine is cold, the coolant
level should be near the COLD
FILL (cold fill) line on the side of
the coolant fill bottle. If it is not,
you could have a leak in the
cooling system.
CAUTION
Steam and scalding liquids from
a hot cooling system can blow
out and burn you badly. Never
turn the cap when the engine
and cooling system are hot.
CAUTION
• Do not substitute any liquids
for the proper coolant
mixture. The engine could
catch on fire and you or
others could be burned.
• Do not spill coolant on hot
engine parts.

CAUTION
The electric engine cooling fan
can start even if the engine is
not running. Be careful around
it.
Here's how to add coolant to the
intercooler system:
The vehicle should be parked on a
level surface.
1. To remove the cap when the
cooling system is no longer
hot, turn it slowly one quarter
turn to the left and then stop.
If you hear a "hiss", wait for
that to stop. The "hiss" means
there is still some pressure left.
Then, remove the cap.
2. Add the proper coolant
mixture to bring the fluid level
up to the cold fill region
between the horizontal lines
on the filler neck.
