Adding Coolant

If you need more coolant, add the proper
DEX-COOL

®

coolant mixture at the coolant surge

tank, but only when the engine is cool. If the
coolant surge tank is empty, a special fill
procedure is necessary. See Engine Overheating
on page 260 for instructions on “How to Add
Coolant to the Coolant Surge Tank.”

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

When replacing the pressure cap, make sure it is
hand-tight and fully seated.
