Never undo the expansion tank cap fully while the coolant is hot. • The cooling system is pressurised. This can cause hot coolant and vapour can escape causing injury to your eyes and burns. • Exercise care when adding glycol. Glycol on hot surfaces constitutes a fire risk. There is an overpressure in the cooling system. Coolant temperatures can sometimes exceed 100 °C. If the level of coolant in the expansion tank drops too low, the following message appears on the DIC: Coolant level low. Refill. The properties of the coolant are retained for the entire service life of the car. Therefore, it is not necessary to change the coolant. The coolant contains 45 % antifreeze and anti-corrosion fluid. This ratio gives the best cooling effect. Lower concentrations should be avoided, in view of the corrosion risk. Coolants of a different brand could damage the engine or cooling system. We therefore recommend strict use of coolants that have been approved by Cadillac. If the expansion tank is empty when coolant is added, run the engine until warm so that the thermostat opens. Top up the tank again, as necessary. NOTICE If coolant requires filling, first blend equal parts coolant and tap water or distilled water. If straight coolant is added, the engine could still freeze and be damaged. This is because the concentrated coolant will not mix properly with the coolant until the thermostat has opened to allow full circulation.
460_OM_MY09.book Page 183 Wednesday, April 2, 2008 10:32 AM Car care 183 Cooling system expansion tank, turbo petrol engine, 4-cyl Cars with 4-cyl. engine: The expansion tank is transparent to facilitate checking the coolant level. When the engine is cold, the coolant shall lie on or just above the KALT/COLD mark on the expansion tank (boundary between the upper and lower sections of the tank, see illustration). Top up with a mixture of equal parts of Cadillac-approved concentrated coolant and clean water. We recommend that you contact an authorised Cadillac workshop. Cooling system expansion tank, turbo petrol engine, V6 Cars with V6 engine: The expansion tank is not transparent. The cap must be unscrewed so that the coolant level can be checked. When the cap is screwed off there are two level markings, HOT and COLD. When the engine is cold, the coolant shall lie on or just above the COLD mark. Level markings, turbo petrol engine, V6 1 HOT 2 COLD
