VEHICLE CARE

1. Remove the coolant surge tank

pressure cap 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 about one full
turn. If a hiss is heard, wait for that
to stop. A hiss means there is still
some pressure left.

2. Keep turning the pressure cap

slowly, and remove it.

3. Fill the coolant surge tank with the

proper mixture to the full
cold mark.

4. With the coolant surge tank

pressure cap off, start the engine
and let it run until the engine
coolant temperature gauge
indicates approximately 90 °C
(195 °F).

By this time, the coolant level
inside the coolant surge tank may
be lower. If the level is lower, add
more of the proper mixture to the
coolant surge tank until the level
reaches the indicated mark.

5. Replace the pressure cap tightly.
6. Verify coolant level after the engine

is shut off and the coolant is cold.
If necessary, repeat coolant fill
procedure Steps 1

6.

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.

Engine Overheating

If the vehicle has a diesel engine, see
the Duramax diesel supplement.

Caution

Do not run the engine if there is a
leak in the engine cooling system.
This can cause a loss of all coolant

(Continued)

and can damage the system and
vehicle. Have any leaks fixed

The vehicle has several indicators to
warn of engine overheating.

There is a coolant temperature gauge
and an engine coolant temperature
