Adding Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper DEX-COOL
®
coolant mixture at the coolant 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 to turn
the cap until it clicks.
