How to Add Coolant to the Radiator

You can remove the
radiator pressure cap
when the cooling system,
including the upper
radiator hose,
is no longer hot.

1. Turn the pressure cap slowly counterclockwise

about one full turn.

If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss
means there is still some pressure left.

2. Then keep turning the cap to remove it.

3. Fill the radiator with the proper DEX-COOL

®

coolant mixture, up to the base of the filler
neck. See Engine Coolant on page 5-25 for more
information about the proper coolant mixture.

4. Then fill the coolant recovery tank to the

FULL COLD mark.

5. Reinstall the cap on the coolant recovery tank,

but leave the radiator pressure cap off.
