If you have to add coolant more than four times a year,

have your dealer check your cooling system.

Notice:

If you use the proper coolant, you do not

have to add extra inhibitors or additives which claim

to improve the system. These can be harmful.

Checking Coolant

The coolant surge tank is

located in the engine

compartment on the

passenger’s side of the

vehicle.

See

Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12

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 at the FULL

COLD mark.

If your vehicle is equipped with the LOW COOLANT

LEVEL message and it comes on and stays on, it means

you’re low on engine coolant.
