NOTICE:
Engine damage
if
you keep running your engine
without coolant isn’t covered by
your
warranty.
See “Overheated Engine Protection Operating
Mode” in the Index.
If there seem to be
no
leak, with the engine on, check
to
see
if
the electric engine fans are running.
If
the engine
is overheating, both fans should be running. If they
aren’t, your vehicle needs service.
How
to
Add
Coolant
to
the
Coolant
Surge
Tank
If
you haven’t found
a
problem yet, but the coolant level
isn’t at the proper level
(2.5
inches
(60
mm) below the
base
of
the
fill
neck), add
a
50/50
mixture of
cleun
water
(preferably distilled) and
DEX-COOL
TM
antifreeze at the coolant surge tank, but be sure the
cooling system, including the coolant surge tank
pressure cap, is cool before
you
do it. (See “Engine
Coolant’’ in the Index for more information.)
Steam and scalding liquids from
a
hot cooling
system can blow out and burn you badly. They are
under pressure, and if you turn the coolant surge
tank pressure cap
--
even
a
little
--
they can come
out at high speed. Never turn the cap when the
cooling system, including the coolant surge tank
pressure cap,
is
hot. Wait for the cooling system
and coolant surge tank pressure cap to
cool if you
ever have to turn the pressure cap.
