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.
Warning
Adding only plain water or some other
liquid to the cooling system can be
dangerous. Plain water and other
liquids, can boil before the proper
coolant mixture will. The coolant
warning system is set for the proper
coolant mixture. With plain water or the
wrong mixture, the engine could get too
hot but you would not get the overheat
warning. The engine could catch fire and
you or others could be burned. Use a
50/ 50 mixture of clean, drinkable water
and DEX-COOL coolant.
Caution
In cold weather, water in the cooling
system can freeze and crack the engine,
and cooling system parts. Use the
recommended coolant and the proper
coolant mixture,even when the vehicle
is in storage.
1. When the cooling system is cool
to the touch Remove the coolant
surge tank pressure cap.
2. Turn the pressure cap
counterclockwise slowly about
one-quarter of a turn. If you hear
a hiss, wait for the hiss to stop.
This will allow any pressure in the
system be vented out the
discharge hose.
3. Fill the coolant surge tank to the
indicated level mark with the
proper DEX-COOL coolant
mixture.
