Checking Coolant
CAUTION:
{
Turning the surge tank pressure cap when
the engine and radiator are hot can allow
steam and scalding liquids to blow out
and burn you badly. Never turn the surge
tank pressure cap — even a little — when
the engine and radiator are hot.
The engine coolant
surge tank is located
toward the rear of the
engine compartment
on the driver's side of
the vehicle. See Engine
Compartment Overview
on page 330 for more
information on location.
The vehicle must be on a level surface. When
your engine is cold, the coolant level should
be at the FULL COLD mark. The FULL COLD
mark is on the front of the coolant surge tank.
Do not overfill the surge tank. Too much coolant
can result in an overflow when the fluid is hot.
Adding Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper
®
DEX-COOL coolant mixture at the surge tank,
but only when the engine is cool.
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.
When replacing the pressure cap, make sure
it is hand-tight and fully seated.
