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.
The vehicle must be on a level surface. When your
engine
is
cold, the coolant level should be at the FULL
COLD mark, located on the side of the surge tank
that faces the engine.
If the CHECK COOLANT LEVEL message comes on
and stays on, it means you're low on engine coolant.
Adding
Coolant
If
you need more coolant, add the proper DEX-COOL@
coolant mixture
at the surge tank,
but only when the
ermine is cool.
You can be burned
i
ou spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol,
and
it
will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Don't spill coolant on a hot engine.
When replacing the pressure cap, make sure the arrow
lines up with the tube.
