come out at high speed. Never turn the cap when the cooling system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap, is hot. Wait for the cooling system and coolant surge tank pressure cap to cool if you ever have to turn the pressure cap.
If no coolant is visible in the surge tank, add coolant as follows:
1. Remove the coolant surge tank pressure cap when the cooling system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator hose, is no longer hot.
Turn the pressure cap slowly counterclockwise about one full turn. If a hiss is heard, wait for that to stop. A hiss means there is still some pressure left. 2. Keep turning the pressure cap
slowly, and remove it.
3. Slowly fill the coolant surge tank. Do not let the coolant level go above the seam in the tank until after the engine comes to operating temperature in Step 4.
4. With the coolant surge tank
pressure cap off, start the engine and let it run until the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates approximately 90 °C (195 °F). By this time, the coolant level inside the coolant surge tank may be lower. If the level is lower, slowly add more of the proper mixture to the coolant surge tank until it reaches the proper level.

On pickup models, slowly continue to add coolant so it goes into the non-pressurized side (fender side) of the coolant surge tank until it reaches one-third of the capacity. Fill the coolant surge tank to the following levels: . At or above the MIN mark
on the pickup.
. To the COLD FILL mark on
the van.
5. Replace the pressure cap. Be
sure the pressure cap is hand-tight and fully seated. 6. Verify coolant level after the
engine is shut off and the coolant is cold. If necessary, repeat coolant fill procedure Steps 1-6.
If the coolant level is still low after having followed these steps twice, have the coolant system checked by a certified technician at the dealer for a possible leak.
Caution
Warning (Continued)
If the pressure cap is not tightly installed, coolant loss and possible engine damage may occur. Be sure the cap is properly and tightly secured.
Engine Overheating There is an engine coolant temperature gauge on the instrument cluster. See the owner manual. If Steam Is Coming from the Engine Compartment { Warning
Steam from an overheated engine can burn you badly, even if you just open the hood. Stay away from the engine if you see or hear steam coming from it. Just turn it off and get everyone away from the vehicle until it cools down.
(Continued)
Wait until there is no sign of steam or coolant before you open the hood. If you keep driving when the engine is overheated, the liquids in it can catch fire. You or others could be badly burned. Stop the engine if it overheats, and get out of the vehicle until the engine is cool.
Caution
Running the engine without coolant may cause damage or a fire. Vehicle damage would not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
If No Steam Is Coming from the Engine Compartment A Driver Information Center (DIC) message, along with a low coolant condition, can indicate a serious problem.
Chevrolet/GMC Duramax Diesel Supplement (GMNA-Localizing-U.S/Canada-
9234763) - 2016 - crc - 10/5/15
110
Vehicle Care
If there is an engine overheat warning and the vehicle does not have a low coolant condition, and no steam is heard or seen, the problem may not be too serious. Sometimes the engine can get a little too hot when the vehicle: . Climbs a long hill on a hot day. . Stops after high-speed driving. Idles for long periods in traffic. . Tows a trailer. See “Driving on
Grades” under “Driving Characteristics and Towing Tips” in the owner manual.
If the DIC message comes on with no sign of steam, try this for a minute or so: 1.
In heavy traffic, let the engine idle in N (Neutral) while stopped. If it is safe to do so, pull off the road, shift to P (Park) or N (Neutral), and let the engine idle.
2. Turn on the heater to full hot at
the highest fan speed and open the window as necessary.
If the vehicle no longer has the overheat warning, the vehicle can be driven. Just to be safe, drive slower for about 10 minutes. If the warning does not come back on, drive normally and have the cooling system checked for proper fill and function. If the warning continues, pull over, stop, and park the vehicle right away. If there is still no sign of steam and the vehicle is equipped with an engine driven cooling fan, push down the accelerator until the engine speed is about twice as fast as normal idle speed for at least five minutes while the vehicle is parked. If the warning is still there, turn off the engine and get everyone out of the vehicle until it cools down. The decision may be made not to lift the hood, but to get service help right away.
Battery (4 Cylinder Engine Only) Vehicles with a 4-cylinder diesel engine are equipped with an AGM (Absorbing Glass Mat) 12-volt battery. Installation of a standard 12-volt battery will result in reduced cold cranking performance. When using a battery charger on the AGM battery, use the AGM setting on the charger, if available, to limit charge voltage to 14.8 volts. Follow the charger manufacturer's instructions. See “Battery - North America” in the owner manual.
