How to Perform Planned Maintenance
The recovery bottle shown is a
typical illustration of overflow
system. Your actual system
may vary slightly.
A level anywhere between the
HOT and COLD marks is nor-
mal.
Inspect the coolant level in the
overflow bottle only.
WARNING
!
Do not remove the radiator cap when the radiator is hot.
STEAM from the radiator will cause severe burns. Do not
remove the radiator cap to check the coolant level.
WARNING
!
Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
running. Stop the engine and wait until it has cooled.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury
from hot coolant or steam blowout and/or damage to the
cooling system or engine.
If the level is low, add a 50/50 mixture of specified coolant and water
to the correct fill level. If you have to add coolant more than once a
month or if you have to add more than one quart at a time, check the
coolant system for leaks.
• Check engine oil for presence of coolant leaking into
engine.
• Inspect the coolant for condition. Look for excessive con-
tamination or rust or oil in the coolant solution.
• Check the PM time interval for need to change coolant.
• Check the condition of radiator cap rubber seal and radiator
filler neck for damage. Be sure they are clean.
• Check overflow hose for clogging or damage.
