6. Reinstall the cap on the coolant

recovery tank but leave the
radiator pressure cap off.

7. Start the engine and let it run

until the upper radiator hose
feels warm. Any time during
this procedure, watch out for
the engine cooling fans.

8. If the coolant level inside the

radiator filler neck is low, add
more of the proper DEX-COOL
coolant mixture through the
filler neck until the level is back
up to the base of the filler neck.

9. Replace the pressure cap

tightly. At any time during this
procedure if coolant begins to
flow out of the filler neck,
reinstall the pressure cap.

Caution

If the pressure cap is not tightly
installed, coolant loss and
possible engine damage may
occur. Be sure the cap is properly
and tightly secured.

make sure the vehicle is parked on
a level surface.

cooling fans are running. If the
engine is overheating, both fans

should be running. If they are not,
do not continue to run the engine
and have the vehicle serviced.

Caution

Running the engine without
coolant may cause damage or a
fire. Vehicle damage would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.

steam coming from it. Turn it off
and get everyone away from the
vehicle until it cools down. Wait
