If you have to add coolant more than four times a year,
have your dealer check your cooling system.
Notice: If you use extra inhibitors and/or additives
in your vehicle’s cooling system, you could
damage your vehicle. Use only the proper mixture
of the engine coolant listed in this manual for
the cooling system. See
Part C: Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-33 for more
information.
Checking Coolant
The coolant surge tank is located in the engine
compartment on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
{
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 parked on a level surface. When
your engine is cold, the coolant level should be at
the FULL COLD mark or higher.
If the low coolant warning
light comes on in the
instrument panel cluster
and stays on, it means
you are low on engine
coolant.
See Low Coolant Warning Light on page 3-37 for further
information.
