If you need more coolant, add the proper mix crt the surge tunk, but only
when the engine
is cool. If the surge tank is empty, see “Engine
Overheating”
in the Index for the proper fill procedure.
A CAUTION:
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. Don’t spill coolant on
a hot engine.
When replacing the pressure
cap, make sure it is tight.
Radiator Pressure Cap - Gasoline Engine
The radiator pressure
cap
must be tightly
installed
with the
arrows on the cap
lined up with the
overflow tube
on the
radiator filler neck.
U
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.

The surge tank
pressure cap must
be
tightly installed with
the arrows on the cap
lined up with the top
tube
of the coolant
surge tank.
NOTICE:
Your surge tank pressure cap is a unique 15 psi (105 kPa)
pressure-type cap for use with surge tank cooling systems only.
It 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 top tube of the coolant surge tank.
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.

What to Use
When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to read the manufacturer’s
instructions before use.
If you will be operating your vehicle in an area
where the temperature may fall below freezing, use
a fluid that has
sufficient protection against freezing.
To Add
Open the cap labeled
WASHER
FLUID
ONLY. Add washer
fluid
until the tank is
full.
NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions
for adding water.
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.
Fill your washer fluid tank only 3/4 full when it’s very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank if it is
completely full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It
can damage
your washer system and paint.
