VEHICLE CARE

1. Remove the coolant surge tank

pressure cap from the top
chamber when the cooling
system, including the coolant
surge tank pressure cap and
upper radiator hose, is no
longer hot.

Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise. If you hear 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. Open the
surge tank service port cap to
the lower chamber

3. Fill the surge tank top chamber

with the proper mixture to the
bottom of the fill neck. The top
chamber needs to be completely
full. Fill the surge tank bottom
chamber through the service port
to approximately half.

4. With the coolant surge tank

pressure cap off and the surge
tank service port cap open, start
the engine and let it run until
you can feel the upper radiator
hose getting hot. Watch out for
the engine cooling fan.

By this time, the coolant level
inside the coolant surge tank top
chamber may be lower. If the

level is lower, add more of the
proper mixture to the surge tank
top chamber until the level
reaches the bottom of the
fill neck.

5. Replace the surge tank pressure

cap tightly and close the surge
tank service port cap.

6. Check the level in the surge tank

top and bottom chambers when
the cooling system has cooled
down. If the coolant is not at the
proper levels, repeat Steps 1

6 and reinstall the pressure cap
and close the service port. If the
coolant still is not at the proper
levels when the system cools
down again, see your dealer.

Caution

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