Cooling System
The coolant level.is visible through the transparent sides
of the expansion tank. When the engine is cold, the
coolant level should be at the MAX mark which is
indicated by the seam on the side of the tank. When the
engine is at its operating temperature, it is normal for
the coolant level to rise above the MAX level. -fig
