The coolant level should be at the FULL COLD mark. If
it isn't, you may have a leak in the radiator hoses, heater
hoses, radiator, water
pump or somewhere else in the
cooling system.
I NOTICE:
I
Engine damage from running your engine
without coolant isn't covered by your warranty.
If there seems to be no leak, with the engine on, check to
see
if the electric engine fm is running. If the engine is
overheating, the
fan should be running. If it isn't, your
vehicle needs service.

Tank
If you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant level
isn’t at the
FULL COLD mark, add a 50/50 mixture of
c-lean water (preferably distilled) and a proper antifreeze
at the coolant surge tank, but be sure the cooling system,
including the coolant surge tank pressure cap,
is cool
before you do it. (See “Engine Coolant” in the Index for
more information about
the proper coolant mix.)

one-quarter turn
to the left and then stop.
If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means
there is still some pressure left.

the pressure cap
slowly, and remove

engine and let
it run until you can feel the upper
radiator hose getting hot. W'ltch
out for the engine
fan.
By this time, the coolant level inside the coolant
surge tank
may be lower. If the level is lower, add
more
of the proper mix 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 tight.

properly. Then lift the hood to relieve pressure
on the
hood prop. Remove the hood prop from the slot in the
hood and return
the prop to its retainer. Then just let the
hood down and close it firmly.
