When your engine is cold, the coolant level should be at ADD, or a little
higher. When
your engine is warm, the level should be up to FULL HOT, or
a little higher.
To Add Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper mix at the coolant recovery tank.
Add coolant mix at the recovery tank, but be careful not to spill it.
Radiator Pressure Cap
NOTICE:
Your radiator cap is a 15 psi (105 kPa) pressure-type cap and
must be tightly installed to prevent coolant loss and possible \
engine damage from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap \
line up with the overflow tube on the radiator filler neck.

your radiator pressure
cap, a
GM cap is
recommended. See
"Service Replacement
Part and Filter
Recommendations"
in
the Index.
Thermostat
Engine coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostat in the engine
coolant system. The thermostat stops the
flow of coolant through the
radiator until the coolant reaches
a preset temperature.
When
you replace your thermostat, an AC@ thermostat is recommended.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
0 Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts of the washer system.
Also, water
doesn’t clean
as well as washer fluid.
0 Fill your washer fluid tank only 314 full when it’s very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank if it is
completely full.
0 Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It
can damage your washer system and paint.
Brakes
Brake Master Cylinder
Your brake master cylinder is here. It is filled with DOT-3 brake fluid.
~~
There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in your master cylinder
might go down. The first
is that the brake fluid goes down to an acceptable
level during normal brake lining wear. When new linings are put in, the
fluid level goes back
up. The other reason is that fluid is leaking out of the
brake system.
If it is, you should have your brake system fixed, since a leak
means that sooner or later your brakes won’t work well, or won’t work at
all. So, it isn’t
a good idea to “top off’ your brake fluid. Adding brake fluid
won’t correct a leak.
If you add fluid when your linings are worn, then
you’ll have
too much fluid when you get new brake linings. You should add
(or remove) brake fluid,
as necessary, only when work is done on the brake
hydraulic system.
