If you need more coolant, add the proper

®

coolant mixture at the surge tank,

but only when the engine is cool. See Cooling
System

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.
