Checking Coolant

The vehicle must be on a level

surface when checking the coolant

level.

The coolant recovery tank cap has

this symbol on it.

It is located toward the rear of

the engine compartment on the

passenger side of the vehicle. See

Engine Compartment Overview on

page 10‑6 for more information on

location.

Check to see if coolant is visible in

the coolant recovery tank. If the

coolant inside the coolant recovery

tank is boiling, do not do anything

else until it cools down. If coolant is

visible but the coolant level is not at

or above the FULL COLD mark, add

a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable

water and DEX-COOL coolant at the

coolant recovery tank, but be sure

the cooling system is cool before

this is done.

The vehicle must be on a level

surface. When the engine is cold,

the coolant level should be at FULL

COLD, or a little higher. When the

engine is warm, the level could be

above the FULL COLD level.

When the engine is cold, the coolant

level should be at least up to the

FULL COLD mark. If it is not, there

could be a leak in the cooling

system.

How to Add Coolant to the

Recovery Tank

{

WARNING

You can be burned if you spill

coolant on hot engine parts.

Coolant contains ethylene glycol

and it will burn if the engine parts

are hot enough. Do not spill

coolant on a hot engine.

Notice: This vehicle has a

specific coolant fill procedure.

Failure to follow this procedure

could cause the engine to

overheat and be severely

damaged.

When the coolant in the coolant

recovery tank is at the FULL COLD

mark, start the vehicle.

If coolant is needed, add the proper

DEX-COOL coolant mixture at the

coolant recovery tank.
