Checking Coolant
The vehicle must be on a level surface when
checking the coolant level
It is normal to see coolant moving in the
upper coolant hose return line when the
engine is running.
If the engine has been recently running
even for a short time. The coolant in the
cooling system could be very hot and under
pressure. Allow the engine to cool
completely before attempting to open the
surge tank
If coolant is visible but the coolant level is
not at or above the mark pointed to, add a
50/50 mixture of clean drinkable water and
DEX-COOL coolant.
If no coolant is visible in the coolant surge
tank, add coolant as follows:
How to Add Coolant to the Coolant

Caution
This vehicle has a specific coolant fill
procedure. Failure to follow this
procedure could cause the engine to
overheat and be severely damaged.
If no coolant is visible in the coolant surge
tank, or it is visible but the level is not at
the indicated level mark. Add a 50/ 50
mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-
COOL coolant to the coolant surge tank.
Before attempting to open the surge tank
be sure the cooling system, including the
coolant surge tank pressure cap, is cool to
the touch.
Warning
You could be badly burned by steam and
scalding liquids blowing out of the
system. Never turn the cap when the
cooling system, including the surge tank
pressure cap, is hot. Wait for the cooling
system and surge tank pressure cap to
cool before doing any work.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol and it
can burn if spilled on hot engine parts.
Do not allow coolant to spill on hot
engine parts you could be badly burned.
