Adding Coolant

If more coolant is needed, 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 367.

{

CAUTION:

Turning the radiator pressure cap when
the engine and radiator are hot can allow
steam and scalding liquids to blow out
and burn you badly. With the coolant
recovery tank, you will almost never
have to add coolant at the radiator. Never
turn the radiator pressure cap — even
a little — when the engine and radiator
are hot.

{

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.

Occasionally check the coolant level in the
radiator. For information on how to add coolant to
the radiator, see Cooling System on page 370.
