Checking Coolant
The coolant surge tank is located in the engine
compartment toward the rear of the engine on the
passengers’ side of the vehicle. See “Engine
Compartment Overview” in the Index for more
information on location.
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 on a level surface. When your
engine is cold, the coolant level should be at the FULL
COLD mark.
If the low coolant warning
light comes on and stays on,
it means you’re low on
engine coolant.
