Coolant Level Check

Coolant Level Check

WARNING:

If the radiator cap is removed when the engine and radiator are still hot, extremely hot fluid and steam may spew out under pressure. This can cause severe burns.

Wait until the engine coolant temperature has lowered before removing the radiator cap.

To check level, lift hood and look at "see-through" coolant reservoir.

It is not necessary to remove radiator cap to check coolant level.

When engine is cool, check coolant level in reservoir (1).

A normal coolant level should be between FULL mark (2) and LOW mark (3) on reservoir (1).

If coolant level is below LOW mark (3), remove reservoir cap (4) and add proper coolant to reservoir to bring coolant level up to FULL mark (2).

NOTE:

If proper quality antifreeze is used, there is no need to add extra inhibitors or additives that claim to improve system. They may be harmful to proper operation of system, and are unnecessary expense.
