10-18 Vehicle Care

{Warning

Steam and scalding liquids from a hot cooling system can blow out and burn you badly. Never turn the cap when the cooling system, including the surge tank pressure cap, is hot. Wait for the cooling system and surge tank pressure cap to cool.

The coolant surge tank pressure cap can be removed when the cooling system, including the surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator hose, is no longer hot.

1.Turn the pressure cap slowly counterclockwise. If a hiss is heard, wait for that to stop.

A hiss means there is still some pressure left.

2.Keep turning the pressure cap slowly and remove it.

3.Fill the coolant surge tank with the proper mixture to the mark pointed to on the front of the coolant surge tank.

4.With the coolant surge tank pressure cap off, start the engine and let it run until you can feel the upper radiator hose getting hot. Watch out for the engine cooling fans. By this time, the coolant level inside the coolant surge tank may be lower. If the level is lower, add more of the proper mixture to the coolant surge tank until the level reaches the mark pointed to on the front of the coolant

surge tank.

5.Replace the pressure cap tightly.
