Checking Coolant

The surge tank is located on the
driver side of the engine
compartment. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10‑6
for more information
on location.

{

WARNING

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 vehicle must be on a level
surface. When your engine is cold,
the coolant level should be between
the MIN and MAX lines.

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. See below for
instructions on “How to Add Coolant
to the Coolant Surge Tank”.

{

WARNING

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.
