Checking Coolant
The surge tank is located on
the driver side of the engine
compartment. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 5-10 for more information
on location.
{ 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
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 Cooling
System on page 5-17 for instructions
on “How to Add Coolant to the
Coolant Surge Tank”.
{ 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 it is hand-tight and
fully seated.

If you need to replace your coolant
