Checking Coolant
.
The surge tank
is
located next to the engine
block
on
the
passenger's side
of
the engine.
The cooling system is under a
lot
of pressure when
it
is hot.
If
the
CHECK
COOLANT
LEVEL message
appears
on
the Driver Information Center
(DIC),
you
will
need to add coolant.
A
CAUTION:
Turning 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
little
--
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
(6.4
cm) below
the base
of
the fill neck. Use
a
flashlight
as
necessary to
see into the tank.
