The engine coolant recovery tank is located in the
engine compartment on the passenger’s side of
the vehicle. See Engine Compartment Overview
on page 334 for more information on location.
The vehicle must be on a level surface. When your
engine is cold, the coolant level should be at
FULL COLD or a little higher. When your engine is
warm, the level should raise.
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

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.
{CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant
on hot engine parts. Coolant contains
ethylene glycol, and it will burn if the
engine parts are hot enough. Do not spill
coolant on a hot engine.
Occasionally check the coolant level in the radiator.
For information on how to add coolant to the
radiator, see Index. When replacing the pressure
cap, make sure to turn cap until it clicks.
