Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Surge Tank Pressure Cap - Diesel Engine
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.

Every now and then have your dealership check your air conditioning
system to be sure
it has not lost any cooling ability. If you think the system
is not working properly, have your dealership check it out as soon as
possible.
The air conditioning will not work when the temperature is below
40°F
(4°C).
Fluid Leak Check
After the vehicle has been parked for a while, inspect the surface under the
vehicle for water, oil, fuel or other fluids. Water dripping from the air
conditioning system after
it has been used is normal. If you notice fuel leaks
or fumes, the causes should be found and corrected at once.
Lock Cylinders
To be sure your locks operate properly, they must be lubricated. Your
vehicle’s maintenance schedule will tell
you how often to lubricate them.
See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants”
in the Index for the proper
lubricant to use.
You should not use penetrating oils because they could wash out the factory
installed lubricant and cause the lock
to bind. De-icers which contain
alcohol could also wash away
the lubricant, so be sure to lubricate the lock
after using
a de-icer of this type.
Battery
Every new GM vehicle has a Delco Freedom’ battery. You never have to
add water
to one of these. When it’s time for a new battery, we recommend
a Delco Freedom@ battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or more, take off the
black, negative
(-) cable from the battery. This will help keep your battery
from running down.

your vehicle in dusty areas or off-road frequently.
You frequently tow
a trailer or use a carrier on top of your vehicle.
