  • Page 47 When you decide it is safe to lift the hood, here is what you will see: The coolant level should be at or above the FULL COLD mark with the vehicle parked on a level surface. If it is not, there might be a leak at the DMCM cooler core, DMCM pressure cap, DMCM cooler hoses, DMCM cooling pump or somewhere else in the DMCM cooling system.
  • Page 48 How to Add Coolant to the DMCM Coolant Surge Tank CAUTION: Steam and scalding liquids from a hot cooling system can blow out and burn you badly. They are under pressure, and if you turn the coolant surge tank pressure cap — even a little — they can come out at high speed.
  • Page 49 CAUTION: 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. If the DMCM coolant is empty, the vehicle must be serviced by your dealer and a special fill procedure must be followed.
