engine is warm or hot. Always allow the engine to cool before removing the
pressure cap.

3. View the coolant level through the opening.
4. Use a funnel and slowly add coolant as needed.
5. Before reinstalling the pressure cap, bleed the system of trapped air.
Remove the engine access panel behind the seats and use a flat-blade
screwdriver to turn the bleed screw
q
slightly, allowing the air to escape.
Slowly add additional coolant to the radiator until air no longer escapes and
only coolant flows from the bleed hole, then tighten the bleed screw.
6. Reinstall the pressure cap.
TIP
Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to
function properly. See your dealer for the correct replacement part.
OVERFLOW BOTTLE COOLANT LEVEL
Always check and change the coolant at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart section. Maintain the coolant level between the minimum
and maximum marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool). If the overflow bottle
has run dry, the level in the radiator should also be inspected.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the hood. See the Hood section for details.
