Adding Coolant
If
you
need more coolant, add the proper coolant
mixture
at the coolant recov--/ tank.
TL
1111,~
the r,,iatbl pressure cap vvIren the
engine and radiator are hot can allow steam and
scalding liquids to blow out and burn you badly.
With the coolant recovery tank, you will almost
never have to add coolant at the radiator.
Never turn the radiator pressure cap
--
even a
little --when the engine and radiator are hot.
Add coolant mixture at the recovery tank, but be careful
not to spill it.
Occasionally check the coolant level in the radiator. For
information on how to add coolant to the radiator,
see
Cooling System on page
5-33.
You can be burned if you
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.
Radiator Pressure Cap
See
Engine Compartment Overview on page
5-12
for
information on location.
Notice:
Your radiator cap is a
15.6
psi
(1
10
kPa)
pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed
to prevent coolant
loss
and possible engine damage
from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap
line up with the overflow tube on the radiator filler.
