WARNING:
Steam and scalding liquids from a hot cooling
system can blow out and burn you badly. They are
under pressure, and if you turn the coolant surge
tank pressure cap
— even a little — they can come
out at high speed. Never turn the cap when the
cooling system, including the coolant surge tank
pressure cap, is hot. Wait for the cooling system
and coolant surge tank pressure cap to cool if you
ever have to turn the pressure cap.
Notice: Using coolant other than a pre ‐ mixed
DEX-COOL, available at your dealer/retailer, may
damage your vehicle. Any repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Always use a pre
‐ mixed
DEX-COOL (silicate-free) coolant in your vehicle.
{
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.
If the DMCM coolant is empty , the vehicle must be
serviced by your dealer and a special fill procedure
must be followed.
Notice: Attempting to fill the DMCM cooling surge
tank yourself when the fluid level is empty can
damage your vehicle. Your vehicle must be
serviced.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn the
vehicle off. Remove the DMCM coolant surge tank
pressure cap when the DMCM cooling system,
including the DMCM coolant surge tank pressure
cap and DMCM cooling hoses, are no longer hot.
