CAUTION:

You can be burned if you spill coolant
on hot components in the engine
compartment. Coolant contains ethylene
glycol, and it will burn if the engine parts
are hot enough. Do not spill coolant on a
hot engine or components in the engine
compartment.

When the coolant in the coolant recovery tank is
at the COLD FILL mark, start your vehicle.

If the overheat warning continues, there is
one more thing you can try. You can add the
proper coolant mixture directly to the radiator,
but be sure the cooling system is cool before
you do it.

{

CAUTION:

Steam and scalding liquids from a hot
cooling system can blow out and burn you
badly. They are under pressure, and if you
turn the radiator pressure cap — even a
little — they can come out at high speed.
Never turn the cap when the cooling
system, including the radiator pressure
cap, is hot. Wait for the cooling system and
radiator pressure cap to cool if you ever
have to turn the pressure cap.

How to Add Coolant to the Radiator for
Gasoline Engines

If your vehicle has a diesel engine, see “How to
Add Coolant to the Radiator” under “Van Models”
in the Cooling System section of the DURAMAX

®

Diesel Supplement for the proper radiator fill
procedure.
