Checking Intercooler System Coolant
(2.0L L4 Engine Only)
Park your vehicle on a level surface and turn off the
engine. When your engine is cold, the coolant level
should be just visible within the horizontal tube section
of the fill neck. When your engine is warm, the
coolant level could be as high as the FULL HOT line, or
a little higher. The FULL HOT line has an arrow
pointing down at it.
Notice: This vehicle has a specific coolant fill
procedure. Failure to follow this procedure could
cause your engine to overheat and be severely
damaged.
Adding Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper DEX-COOL
®
coolant mixture at the surge tank and/or intercooler
fill neck, but only when the engine is cool. See Cooling
System on page 5-30 for instructions on how to add
coolant to the coolant surge tank and/or intercooler
fill neck.
{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 a pressure cap, make sure it is
hand-tight and fully seated.
Coolant Surge Tank Pressure Cap
Notice: If the pressure cap is not tightly installed,
coolant loss and possible engine damage may
occur. Be sure the cap is properly and tightly
secured.
If you replace your coolant surge tank pressure cap, a
Saturn cap is required.
