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 the
upper radiator hose can be felt
getting hot. Watch out for the
engine cooling fan.

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

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 coolant
temperature gauge to warn of the
engine overheating. See

Engine

Coolant Temperature Gauge on
page 5-11

.

If the decision is made not to lift the
hood when this warning appears,
get service help right away. See

Roadside Assistance Program on
page 13-5

.

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

Then check to see if the engine
cooling fan is running. If the engine
is overheating, the fan should be

running. If it is not, do not continue
to run the engine. 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.

If Steam Is Coming from the
Engine Compartment

{

Warning

Steam from an overheated engine
can burn you badly, even if you
just open the hood. Stay away
from the engine if you see or hear
steam coming from it. Just turn it
off and get everyone away from
the vehicle until it cools down.
