3. Fill the coolant surge tank with

the proper mixture to the COLD

FILL line.

4. With the coolant surge tank

pressure cap off, start the

engine and let it run until the

upper radiator hose starts

getting hot. Watch out for the

engine cooling fan(s). By this

time, the coolant level inside the

coolant surge tank may be

lower. If the level is lower, add

more of the proper mixture to the

coolant surge tank until the level

reaches the line pointed to on

the front of the coolant

surge tank.

5. Replace the pressure cap.

Be sure the pressure cap is

hand–tight and full seated.

Notice: 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.

If coolant is needed, add the proper

DEX-COOL

®

coolant mixture at the

coolant surge tank.

Engine Overheating

The vehicle has an indicator to warn

of engine overheating. There is an

engine coolant temperature warning

light on the vehicle's instrument

panel. See Engine Coolant

Temperature Gage on page 4‑15.

Decide whether to lift the hood

when this warning appears, or get

service help instead.

If lifting the hood , make sure the

vehicle is parked on a level surface.

Then check to see if the engine

cooling fans are running. If the

engine is overheating, both fans

should be running. If they are not,

do not continue to run the engine

and have the vehicle serviced.

Notice: Engine damage from

running the engine without

coolant is not covered by the

warranty.
