AKENG44_Escalade Page 364 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Problems on the Road IF COOLANT IS VISIBLE IN THE SURGE TANK: If coolant is visible in the tank but the level is not up to the FULL COLD mark, wait a while for the engine to cool, then add a 50/50 mixture of clean water and DEX-COOL ® coolant at the coolant surge tank. See "Engine Coolant" in the "Service and Maintenance" section. IF NO COOLANT IS VISIBLE IN THE SURGE TANK: Add a 50/50 mixture of clean water and DEX-COOL ® coolant at the coolant surge tank. Here's how to add coolant to the surge tank: 1. To remove the cap when the cooling system is no longer hot, turn it slowly one full turn to the left and then stop. If you hear a "hiss", wait for that to stop. The "hiss" means there is still some pressure left. Then continue to slowly turn the cap and remove it. 2. Fill the reservoir with the proper mixture of coolant and clean water up to the FULL COLD mark. 3. With the pressure cap off, start the engine and let it run until you can feel that the upper radiator hose is getting hot (watch out for the engine cooling fan). . . . 364
AKENG44_Escalade Page 365 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 5 4. If the level in the surge tank has dropped, add more of the coolant mixture to bring the level back up to the proper mark. NOTICE The surge tank cap is a pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage from overheating. – 5. Then replace the cap. Be sure the cap is tight. When the engine and cooling system have cooled down, check the coolant level again. If the coolant is not at the proper level, repeat steps 1 through 5 again. If the coolant is not at the proper level when the system cools down again, have the vehicle serviced. – – – – 365 . . .

coolant surge tank. See "Engine<br />
Coolant" in the "Service and<br />
Maintenance" section.<br />
