compartment toward the rear of the engine on
the passenger's side of the vehicle. See Engine
Compartment Overview on page 5-12 for more
information on location.
The vehicle must be on a level surface when checking
the coolant level.
When your engine is warm, the level should be up to
the HOT mark or a little higher.

When your engine is cold,
the coolant level should be
at the COLD mark or a
little higher.
Adding Coolant
See DIC Controls and Displays on page 3-45 for more
information.
If you need more coolant, add the proper DEX-COOL
coolant mixture at the coolant recovery tank, but be
careful not to spill it.
If the coolant recovery tank is completely empty,
add coolant to the radiator. See Engine Overheating on
page 5-29 .
This symbol, along with
the LOW COOLANT
LEVEL warning message
will appear in the Driver
Information Center
(DIC) when coolant needs
to be added to the
coolant recovery tank.
