Checking Coolant
The coolant surge tank is in the engine compartment
behind the passenger’s side headlamp.
CAUTION:
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 at the
FULL COLD mark. The FULL COLD mark is on
the front of the coolant surge tank. Don’t overfill the
surge tank. Too much coolant can result in an overflow
when the fluid is hot.
If the LOW COOLANT message comes on and stays
on, it means you’re low on engine coolant.
