{Warning
An underhood electric fan can
start up even when the engine is
not running and can cause injury.
Keep hands, clothing, and tools
away from any underhood
electric fan.
{Warning
Steam and scalding liquids from a
hot cooling system are under
pressure. Turning the pressure
cap, even a little, can cause them
to come out at high speed and
you could be burned. Never turn
the cap when the cooling system,
including the pressure cap, is hot.
Wait for the cooling system and
pressure cap to cool.
Caution
Failure to follow the specific
coolant fill procedure could cause
system damage. If coolant is not
visible in the hybrid surge tank(s),
contact your dealer.
If coolant is needed, add the proper
GM Premix DEX-COOL engine
coolant at the coolant surge tank.
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 cap and
remove it.
3. Fill the coolant surge tank withthe proper mixture to the cold
fill line.
4. Reinstall the pressure cap. Be sure the pressure cap is
hand-tight and fully seated.
