Re: low coolant warning?? (abraham)
Mine started doing that when on inclines, like on hills and steep driveways. I suggest you fill the reservoir up to where the black plastic part of the tank begins. I filled mine up just beyond that and the low coolant light stop coming on intermittantly. Mine started coming on only after I change to my 160* thermostat. Hope this works, good luck. :cheers:

Re: low coolant warning?? (abraham)
abrraham,
There was a TSB issued for this problem. The 1997's involved replacing the surge tank/sensor with a second design part. The 1998 and 1999 were to have the second design tank, but it had to be repositioned.
Good luck. Your dealer should be able to look up the TSB for you.

Re: low coolant warning?? (1999 White C5 Coupe)
just fill it a bit, I got it in the past, filled it a bit and haven't seen it in almost a year :cheers: As mentioned above, an incline can cause the coolant to become "uneven" therefore registering a false low coolant reading
