These can be harmful.The surge tank is located behind the air cleaner on thepassenger’s side of the engine.The cooling system when hot is under a lot of pressure.If the low coolant warning light on the instrument panelappears, you will need to add coolant.6-22
CAUTION:Turning the surge tank pressure cap when theengine and radiator are hot can allow steam andscalding liquids to blow out and burn you badly.Never turn the surge tank pressure cap -- even alittle -- when the engine and radiator are hot.The vehicle must be on a level surface. When yourengine is cold, the coolant level should be at theKALT/COLD line (seam).If the light comes on andstays on, it means you’relow on engine coolant.Adding CoolantIf you need more coolant, add the proper DEX-COOL coolant mixture at the surge tank, but only when theengine is cool.CAUTION:You can be burned if you spill coolant on hotengine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol,and it will burn if the engine parts are hotenough. Don’t spill coolant on a hot engine.When replacing the pressure cap, make sure it is hand-tight.For more information, see “Low Coolant WarningLight” in the Index.6-23
