Owners Manual

Checking
Coolant
The coolant surge tank
is located in the engine
compartment on the
passenger’s side
of
the vehicle.
I
See Engine Compartment Overview on page
5-12
for
more information on location.
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.
If the
LOW
COOLANT LEVEL message comes
on
and
stays on, it means you’re
low
on engine coolant.
See “Low Coolant Level” under DIC Warnings and
Messages on page
3-56.
