How to Add Coolant to the
Radiator

{

WARNING

An electric engine cooling fan
under the hood can start up even
when the engine is not running
and can cause injury. Keep
hands, clothing, and tools away
from any underhood electric fan.

{

WARNING

Steam and scalding liquids from a
hot cooling system can blow out
and burn you badly. They are
under pressure, and if you turn
the surge tank pressure
cap

even a little

they can

come out at high speed. Never
turn the cap when the cooling
system, including the surge tank
pressure cap, is hot.

(Continued)

WARNING (Continued)

Wait for the cooling system and
surge tank pressure cap to cool if
you ever have to turn the
pressure cap.

If coolant is needed, add the proper
mixture directly to the radiator, but
be sure the cooling system is cool
before this is done.

1. Detach the fasteners and lift off

the panel that covers the
radiator cap.

2. Remove the radiator pressure

cap when the cooling system,
including the upper radiator
hose, is no longer hot.
Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise about
one full turn.

If a hiss is heard, wait for that to
stop. A hiss means there is still
some pressure left in the
system.

3. Keep turning the pressure cap

slowly and remove it.

4. Fill the radiator to the base of

the filler neck with the proper
DEX-COOL coolant mixture.
