Checking Coolant
The engine coolant reservoir is located on the driver’s
side of the vehicle, above the engine air cleaner/filter.
See “Engine Compartment Overview” in the Index
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, or a little higher. When your
engine is warm, the level should be above the FULL
COLD mark or a little higher.
Adding Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper DEX - COOL
R
coolant mixture at the coolant recovery tank.
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.
