3. Fill the coolant surge tank with the proper mixture,

to the FULL COLD mark. Wait about ﬁve minutes,

then check to see if the level is below the mark.

If the level is below the FULL COLD mark,

add additional coolant to bring the level up to the

mark. Repeat this procedure until the level remains

constant at the FULL COLD mark for at least

ﬁve minutes.

4. With the coolant surge tank pressure cap off,

start the engine and let it run until you can feel

the upper radiator hose getting hot. Watch out for

the engine cooling fans.

By this time, the coolant level inside the coolant

surge tank might be lower. If the level is lower than

the FULL COLD mark, add more of the proper

mixture to the coolant surge tank until the level

reaches the FULL COLD mark.

5. Then replace the pressure cap. Be sure the

pressure cap is hand-tight and fully seated.

Notice: If the pressure cap is not tightly installed,

coolant loss and possible engine damage may

occur. Be sure the cap is properly and tightly

secured.

Engine Overheating

The vehicle has several indicators to warn of engine

overheating.

You will ﬁnd an engine coolant temperature gage as

well as an engine coolant temperature warning light on

your vehicle’s instrument panel cluster. See Engine

Coolant Temperature Gage on page 4-33 and Engine

Coolant Temperature Warning Light on page 4-33.

You may decide not to lift the hood when this warning

appears, but instead get service help right away.

See Roadside Assistance Program on page 8-6.

If you do decide to lift the hood, make sure the vehicle

is parked on a level surface.

Then check to see if the engine cooling fans are

running. If the engine is overheating, both fans should

be running. If they are not, do not continue to run

the engine and have the vehicle serviced.

Notice: Engine damage from running the engine

without coolant is not covered by the warranty.

Notice: If the engine catches ﬁre while driving with

no coolant, the vehicle can be badly damaged.

The costly repairs would not be covered by

the vehicle warranty. See Overheated Engine

Protection Operating Mode on page 6-30 for

information on driving to a safe place in an

emergency.
