a hiss, wait for that to stop. This
will allow any pressure still left to
be vented out the
discharge hose.

2. Keep turning the pressure cap

slowly and remove it.

3. Fill the coolant surge tank with

the proper DEX-COOL coolant
mixture to the indicated
level mark.

4. With the coolant surge tank

pressure cap off, start the
engine and let it run until you
can feel the upper radiator hose
getting hot. Watch out for the
engine cooling fans.
By this time, the coolant level
inside the coolant surge tank
may be lower. If the level is
lower, add more of the proper
DEX-COOL coolant mixture to
the coolant surge tank until the
level reaches the indicated
level mark.

5. Replace the pressure cap. Be

sure the pressure cap is
hand-tight.

Check the level in the coolant surge
tank when the cooling system has
cooled down. If the coolant is not at
the proper level, repeat Steps 1
through 3 and reinstall the pressure
cap. If the coolant still is not at the
proper level when the system cools
down again, see your dealer.
