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 your engine is cold,
the coolant level should be
at the COLD mark or a
little higher.

When your engine is warm, the level should be up to
the HOT mark or a little higher.

This symbol, along with
the LOW COOLANT
LEVEL warning message
will appear in the Driver
Information Center

to be added to the
coolant recovery tank.

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

®

coolant mixture at the coolant recovery tank, but be
careful not to spill it.
