you see or hear steam coming from under the hood,
do not open the hood until the radiator has had

Coolant Checks
Check the engine coolant (antifreeze) protection every 12

fresh OAT coolant (conforming to MS.90032) by an
authorized dealer. Check the front of the A/C condenser
for any accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty, clean by
gently spraying water from a garden hose vertically
down the face of the condenser.
Check the coolant recovery bottle and/or the super-
charger coolant recovery bottle (if equipped with the 6.2L
Supercharged engine) tubing for brittle rubber, cracking,
tears, cuts, and tightness of the connection at the bottle
and radiator. Inspect the entire system for leaks.
With the engine at normal operating temperature (but
not running), check the cooling system pressure cap for
