Coolant Level Check - Routine

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Do not remove pressure cap for routine coolant level inspections.

The coolant bottle provides a quick visual method for determining the coolant level without removing the pressure cap. With the engine cold and not running , simply observe the level of the coolant in the coolant recovery container (2.0L/2.4L) or the coolant pressure container (2.7L). See Fig 1 and Fig 2. The level should be between the MIN and MAX marks.
