Pontiac 2005 Grand Prix - Manual (Page 316)

Checking Coolant
The coolant recovery tank is located in the engine
compartment toward the rear of the engine on
the passenger’s side of the vehicle. See Engine
Compartment Overview on page 5-12 for more
information on location.
The vehicle must be on a level surface when checking
the coolant level.
When the engine is cold,
the coolant level should be
at the COLD mark or a
little higher.
When the engine is warm, the level should be up to the
HOT mark or a little higher.
Adding Coolant
This symbol, along with
the LOW COOLANT
LEVEL warning message
comes on in the Driver
Information Center
(DIC) when coolant needs
to be added to the
coolant recovery tank.
See DIC Controls and Displays (Base Level DIC) on
page 3-49 or DIC Controls and Displays (Uplevel
DIC with Trip Computer) on page 3-57 for more
information.
If more coolant is needed, add the proper DEX-COOL ®
coolant mixture at the coolant recovery tank, but be
careful not to spill it.
If the coolant recovery tank is completely empty, add
coolant to the radiator. See Engine Overheating
on page 5-27.
