filler neck may be lower. If the level is lower, add
more of the proper DEX-COOL

coolant mixture

through the filler neck until the level reaches
the base of the filler neck.

during this procedure if coolant begins to flow out of
the filler neck, reinstall the pressure cap. Be sure
the pressure cap is hand-tight and fully seated.

13. Check the coolant in the recovery tank. The level in

the coolant recovery tank should be at the HOT

mark when the engine is cold.
