If you do not find an obvious leak,

check the coolant level in the

radiator reserve tank. Add coolant

if the level is below the MIN mark.

If there was no coolant in the

reserve tank, you may need to add

coolant to the radiator. Let the

engine cool down until the pointer

reaches the middle of the tempera-

ture gauge, or lower, before check-

ing the radiator.

Using gloves or a large heavy

cloth, turn the radiator cap

counterclockwise, without pushing

down, to the first stop. After the

pressure releases, push down on

the cap, and turn it until it comes

off.

Put the radiator cap back on

tightly. Run the engine, and check

the temperature gauge. If it goes

back to the red mark, the engine

needs repair (see

on page ).

If the temperature stays normal,

check the coolant level in the

radiator reserve tank. If it has

gone down, add coolant to the

MAX mark. Put the cap back on

tightly.

Start the engine, and set the

interior temperature to maximum

(climate control to FULL AUTO at

‘‘ ’’). Add coolant to the

radiator up to the base of the filler

neck. If you do not have the

proper coolant mixture available,

you can add plain water.

Remember to have the cooling

system drained and refilled with

the proper mixture as soon as you

can.

Removing the radiator cap

while the engine is hot can

cause the coolant to spray out,

seriously scalding you.

Always let the engine and

radiator cool down before

removing the radiator cap.
