CAUTION!

Mixing of coolants other than specified HOAT

engine coolants may result in engine damage and
may decrease corrosion protection. If a non-HOAT
coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an
emergency, it should be replaced with the speci-
fied coolant as soon as possible.

Do not use plain water alone or alcohol-based

engine coolant (antifreeze) products. Do not use
additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as
they may not be compatible with the radiator
engine coolant and may plug the radiator.

This vehicle has not been designed for use with

propylene glycol-based coolants. Use of propylene
glycol-based coolants is not recommended.

Adding Coolant
Your vehicle has been built with an improved engine

coolant (antifreeze) that allows extended maintenance

intervals. This engine coolant (antifreeze) can be used up

to five years or 102,000 miles (170 000 km) before

replacement. To prevent reducing this extended mainte-

nance period, it is important that you use the same

engine coolant (antifreeze) throughout the life of your

vehicle.
Please review these recommendations for using Hybrid

Organic Additive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant

(antifreeze). When adding engine coolant (antifreeze):

• The manufacturer recommends using MOPAR௡

Antifreeze/Coolant 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula

HOAT (Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) or

equivalent.
