How
to
Add
Coolant
to
the Radiator
(3800

Engine
Only)
I
NOTICE:
Your engine has a specific radiator fill procedure.
Failure to follow this procedure could cause your
engine to overheat and be severely damaged.
1. You can remove the radiator pressure cap when the
cooling system, including the radiator pressure cap
and upper radiator
hose,
is
no longer hot. Turn the
pressure cap slowly counterclockwise until it first
stops. (Don't press down while turning the
pressure cap.)
If
you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop.
A
hiss means
there
is
still some pressure left.
2. Then keep turning the pressure cap, but now push
down
as
you turn
it.
Remove
the
pressure cap.
