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.
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. Don't spill coolant on
a
hot engine.
When replacing the pressure cap, make sure it
is
tight.

Cap
1
NOTICE:
The surge tank cap
is
a
15
psi
(105
kPa)
pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed
to
prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage
from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap
line up.
If
the surge tank pressure cap needs to be replaced, a
General Motors cap
is
recommended.
Thermostat
Engine coolant temperature is controlled
by
a thermostat
in the engine coolant system. The thermostat stops the
flow
of
coolant through the radiator until the coolant
reaches a preset temperature.
If
your thermostat needs
to
be
replaced,
a
General
Motors thermostat
is
recommended.
