Vehicle Care

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 tightly.

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

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.

Engine Overheating

The vehicle has an engine coolant
temperature gauge and may also
have an engine coolant temperature
warning light on the instrument
cluster to warn of engine
overheating. See

Engine Coolant

Temperature Gauge on page 5-18

and

Engine Coolant Temperature

Warning Light on page 5-28

.

If it is decided not to lift the hood
when this warning appears, but
instead get service help right away,
see

Roadside Assistance Program

on page 13-5

.

If it is decided to lift the hood, make
sure the vehicle is parked on a level
surface.

Then check to see if the engine
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.
