Checking Coolant
The coolant surge tank is
located in the engine
compartment on the
passenger’s side of the
vehicle.
See
Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12
for
more information on location.
{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.
The vehicle must be on a level surface. When your
engine is cold, the coolant level should be at the FULL
COLD mark.
If the LOW COOLANT LEVEL message comes on and
stays on, it means you’re low on engine coolant.
See “Low Coolant Level” under

Messages on page 3-62
