    On our 2006 the coolant reservoir tank looks discolored. It is yellow and almost can’t tell where the pink fluid level is. Was this white and yellowed over time?

    Our 2007 looks exactly like that picture. (Same yellow inverter tank.)

    As confirmed in the other posts, it has a yellow color.

    If you want to see the level easier, shine a flashlight in through the side and it will illuminate the coolant so you can see the level easily.
