The surge tank is located next to the engine block on the
passenger’s side of the engine.
The cooling system when hot is under
a
lot
of
pressure.
If
the
CHECK

message appears on
the
DIC,
you will need to add coolant.

lhrning the surge tank pressure cap when the
engine and radiator are hot can allow steam and
scalding liquids
to
blow out and burn you badly.
Never turn the surge tank pressure cap
--
even a

--
when the engine and radiator are hot.
When
your
engine
is
cold, the coolant level should be at
the full cold mark, which is
2.5
inches
(60
mm)
below
the base
of
the fill neck. Use a flashlight
as
necessary to
see into the tank..
