6-31 GMC SAFARI 2002 Owner's Manual

6-31 Checking Coolant
The engine coolant tank
is located in the engine
compartment on the
passenger's side at the front.
See ªEngine Compartment
Overviewº in the Index
for more information
on location.
The vehicle must be on a level surface. When your
engine is cold, the coolant level should be at ADD,
or a little higher. When your engine is warm, the level
should be up to FULL HOT, or a little higher.Adding Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper DEX-COOL

coolant mixture at the coolant recovery tank.
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.
