Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise about
one-quarter of a turn. If a hiss is
heard, wait for that to stop. This
will allow any pressure still left to
be vented out the
discharge hose.
2. Keep turning the pressure cap
slowly, and remove it.
3. Fill the coolant surge tank with
the proper DEX-COOL coolant
mixture, to between the MIN and
MAX lines.
4. With the coolant surge tank
pressure cap off, start the
engine and let it run until the
upper radiator hose can be felt
getting hot. Watch out for the
engine cooling fan.
By this time, the coolant level
inside the coolant surge tank
may be lower. If the level is
lower, add more of the proper
DEX-COOL coolant mixture to
the coolant surge tank until the
level reaches between the MIN
and MAX lines.
5. Replace the pressure cap tightly.
{
Caution
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.
Check the level in the surge tank
when the cooling system has cooled
down. If the coolant is not at the
proper level, repeat Steps 1–3 and
reinstall the pressure cap. If the
coolant still is not at the proper level
when the system cools down again,
see the dealer.
Engine Overheating
There is a coolant temperature
warning light on the instrument
panel. See Engine Coolant
Temperature Warning Light on
page 5-20.
If Steam is Coming from the
Engine
{
Warning
Steam from an overheated engine
can cause serious injury, even if
the hood is opened just a little.
Stay away from the engine if
steam is seen or heard coming
from it. Just turn it off and get
everyone away from the vehicle
