COOLANT LEVEL

Coolant Level
To check level, lift hood and look at "see-through" coolant reservoir
tank.
It is not necessary to remove radiator cap to check coolant level.
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned:
do not remove reservoir tank cap while coolant is boil-
ing, and
do not remove radiator cap while engine and radiator
are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pres-
sure if either cap is taken off too soon.
When engine is cool, check coolant level in reservoir tank (1).

A normal coolant level should be between FULL and LOW marks
on reservoir tank.
If coolant level is below LOW mark (2), remove reservoir tank cap
and add proper coolant to tank to bring coolant level up to FULL
mark (3). Then, reinstall cap (4) and align match marks on tank and
cap.
NOTE:
If proper quality antifreeze is used, there is no need to add
extra inhibitors or additives that claim to improve system.
They may be harmful to proper operation of system, and are
unnecessary expense.
When installing reservoir cap, align arrow marks on reser-
voir and cap.
