Check the coolant level in the

coolant reservoir the next few

times you drive the vehicle. If

necessary, add enough of a 50/50

mixture of coolant and water to

bring the liquid level to the cold fill

range on the reservoir.

Never remove the coolant

reservoir cap while the

engine is running or hot.

If you must remove the coolant

reservoir cap, follow these steps to

avoid personalinjury.
1. Before you remove the cap, turn

the engine off and let it cool.
2. When the engine is cool, wrap a

thick cloth around the cap. Slowly

turn the cap counterclockwise until

pressure begins to release.
3. Step back while the pressure

releases.
4. When you are sure that all the

pressure has been released, use the

cloth to turn it counterclockwise

and remove the cap.
Change your engine coolant

according to the appropriate

schedule listed in the Scheduled

Maintenance Guide".
