2007 SATURN ION lock

Notice:In cold weather, water can freeze and
crack the engine, radiator, heater core and
other parts. Use the recommended coolant and
the proper coolant mixture.
{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. Do not spill
coolant on a hot engine.
1. You can remove the coolant surge tank
pressure cap when the cooling system,
including the upper radiator hose, is no longer
hot. Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise about one-quarter of a turn.
If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop.
This will allow any pressure still left to be
vented out the discharge hose.
2. Then keep turning the pressure cap slowly,
and remove it.

{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. Do not spill
coolant on a hot engine.
1. You can remove the Intercooler System
pressure cap when the Intercooler System,
including the upper intercooler hoses, are nolonger hot. Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise about one-quarter of a turn. If
you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. This will
allow any pressure still left to be vented.
2. Then keep turning the pressure cap slowly,
and remove it.
3. Add the proper DEX-COOL
®coolant mixture
to the ll neck, until there is coolant visible in
the horizontal tube section of the ll neck.
4. With the Intercooler System pressure cap off,
start the engine and let it run for a couple of
minutes. Watch out for the engine cooling fan.
Turn the engine off.
By this time, the coolant level inside the ll
neck may be lower. If the level drops to where
coolant is no longer visible in the horizontal
tube section of the ll neck, with the engine off
add more of the DEX-COOL
®coolant
mixture to the ll neck until the level is again
visible in the horizontal tube section.
5. Then replace the pressure cap. Be sure the
pressure cap is hand-tight and fully seated.
If the coolant is not at the proper level when the
system cools down again, see your retailer.

4. Open the hoods and locate the positive (+)
and negative (−) terminal locations on each
vehicle.
You will not need to access your battery for
jump starting. Your vehicle has a remote
positive (+) and a remote negative (−) jump
starting terminal.
The remote positive (+) terminal is located on
the engine compartment fuse block, under a
red cap. SeeEngine Compartment Overview
on page 280for more information on location.
The remote negative (−) ground terminal is a
bolt located under the metal frame that
supports the radiator. It is at the front of the
engine compartment, on the driver’s side
of the vehicle, and is marked with a label that
says GND (−).
{CAUTION:
An electric fan can start up even when the
engine is not running and can injure you.
Keep hands, clothing and tools away from
any underhood electric fan.
{CAUTION:
Using a match near a battery can cause
battery gas to explode. People have been
hurt doing this, and some have been
blinded. Use a ashlight if you need
more light.
Be sure the battery has enough water.
You do not need to add water to the
battery installed in your new vehicle. But
if a battery has ller caps, be sure the
right amount of uid is there. If it is low,
add water to take care of that rst. If you
do not, explosive gas could be present.
Battery uid contains acid that can burn
you. Do not get it on you. If you
accidentally get it in your eyes or on your
skin, ush the place with water and get
medical help immediately.

8. Now connect the black negative (−) cable to
the negative (−) terminal of the good battery.
Use a remote negative (−) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
Do not let the other end touch anything until
the next step. The other end of the
negative (−) cable does not go to the dead
battery. It goes to a heavy, unpainted
metal engine part or to a remote negative (−)
terminal on the vehicle with the dead
battery.
9. Connect the other end of the negative (−)
cable at least 18 inches (45 cm) away from
the dead battery, but not near engine
parts that move. The electrical connection is
just as good there, and the chance of
sparks getting back to the battery is much
less.
Your vehicle has a remote negative (−)
terminal for this purpose.10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery
and run the engine for a while.
11. Press the unlock button on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, if the vehicle
has one, to disarm your security system.
12. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead
battery. If it will not start after a few tries, it
probably needs service.
Notice:If the jumper cables are connected or
removed in the wrong order, electrical
shorting may occur and damage the vehicle.
The repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Always connect and remove
the jumper cables in the correct order, making
sure that the cables do not touch each other
or other metal.
