Checking Coolant

The engine coolant

The engine coolant recovery tank is in the engine compartment on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The cap has this symbol on it.

The vehicle must be on a level surface. When your engine is cold, the coolant level should be at FULL COLD, or a little higher.
