4.
Put the cap back on
the coolant surge
tank.
5.
Start the engine and as the engine runs the coolant
will
circulate
through the cooling system. Any air that was introduced while adding
coolant will purge itself and rise to the top of the surge tank.
If
the
“ENGINE
COOLANT
LOW”
message does not appear on the
Driver Information Center, coolant is at the proper
fill
level.
If
an
“ENGINE COOLANT LOW” message does appear, repeat steps
1
through
4
or see your dealer.
IFA TIRE
GOES
FLAT
It’s unusual for a tire to “blow out7’ while you’re driving, especially
if
you
maintain
your
tires properly. If air goes out of a tire, it’s much more likely
to
leak out slowly. But
if
you should ever have a “blowout,” here are
a
few tips about what
to
expect and what to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire
will
create
a
drag that pulls
the
vehicle
toward that side. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and grip the
steering wheel firmly. Steer to maintain lane position, then gently brake
to
a
stop well out of the traffic lane.
A rear blowout, particularly on a curve, acts much like
a
skid and may require
the same correction you’d use in a skid. In any rear blowout, remove your
foot from the accelerator pedal. Get the vehicle under control by steering the
way you want the vehicle
to
go. It may
be
very
bumpy and noisy, but you can
still steer. Gently brake to
a
stop,
well
off
the road
if
possible.
If
your tire goes flat, the next section shows how to
use
your jacking
equipment to change a flat tire safely.
