Notice: When adding coolant,
it
is
important that
you use only
DEX-COOL@
(silicate-free) coolant.
If
coolant other than DEX-COOL is added to
the system, premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the engine
coolant will require change sooner
-
at
30,000
miles
(50
000
km) or
24
months, whichever occurs first.
Damage caused by the use of coolant other
than DEX-COOL@
is
not covered by your new vehicle
warranty.
How
to
Add
Coolant to the Coolant
Surge Tank
If
you
haven’t found a problem yet, check to see
if
coolant is visible in the surge tank. If coolant is visible
but the coolant level isn’t at or above the
FULL
COLD
fill
mark line
(4.5
inches
(1 1
cm) from the top
of
the filler
neck), add a
50/50
mixture of
clean, drinkable water
and
DEX-COOL@
coolant at the coolant surge tank, but be
sure the cooling system, including the coolant surge tank

for more information.
If no coolant is visible in the surge tank, add coolant as
follows:

Ii
ids from a hot cooling
system can blow out and burn you badly. They
are under pressure, and
if
you turn
the
coolant
surge tank pressure cap
--
even a little
--
they
can come out at high speed. Never
turn
the
cap when the cooling system, including the
coolant surge tank pressure cap, is hot. Wait
for the cooling system and coolant surge tank
pressure cap to cool if you ever have to turn
the pressure cap.
