If the coolant overﬂow reservoir is completely empty,

add coolant to the radiator. See Engine Overheating on

page 5-26.

{CAUTION:

Turning the radiator pressure cap when the

engine and radiator are hot can allow steam

and scalding liquids to blow out and burn you

badly. With the coolant recovery tank, you will

almost never have to add coolant at the

radiator. Never turn the radiator pressure

cap — even a little — when the engine and

radiator are hot.

Occasionally check the coolant in the radiator. For

information on how to add coolant to the radiator, see

Cooling System on page 5-29.

Radiator Pressure Cap

Notice: If the pressure cap is not tightly installed,

coolant loss and possible engine damage may

occur. Be sure the cap is properly and tightly

secured.

See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12 for

information on location.

Engine Overheating

Immediate action is required if your engine overheats.

This is indicated by the coolant temperature gage

and the Engine Temp Hot message on the trip computer

display. See Engine Coolant Temperature Gage on

page 3-28 and Trip Computer on page 3-33 for more

information.
