Checking Coolant
The coolant recovery
tank is located on the
driver’s side of the
vehicle, above the
engine air cleaner/
filter. See
Engine
Compartment Overview
on page 420
for more
information on location.
The vehicle must be on a level surface. When your
engine is cold, the coolant level should be at the full
cold mark, or a little higher. When your engine is
warm, the level should be above the full cold mark
or a little higher. The full cold mark is a line with an
arrow pointing down at it, located on the front of the
coolant recovery tank.
Adding Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper
DEX-COOL
®
coolant mixture at the coolant
recovery tank, but be careful not to spill it.
{
CAUTION:
Turning the radiator pressure cap when
the engine and radiator are hot can allow
steam and scalding liquids to blow out and
burn you badly. With the coolant recovery
tank, you will almost never have to add
coolant at the radiator. Never turn the
radiator pressure cap — even a
little — when the engine and radiator
are hot.
