Checking Coolant
The surge tank is located on the passenger’s side of
the engine compartment. See “Engine Compartment
Overview” in the Index for more information
on location.
CAUTION:
Turning the surge tank pressure cap when the
engine and radiator are hot can allow steam and
scalding liquids to blow out and burn you badly.
Never turn the surge tank pressure cap
-- even a
little
-- when the engine and radiator are hot.
The vehicle must be on a level surface. When your
engine is cold, the coolant level should be at the
FULL COLD mark.
If the low coolant light
comes on and stays
on, it means you’re
low on engine coolant.
See “Low Coolant Light”
in the Index.
