engine coolant in open containers or allow it to remain in

puddles on the ground. If ingested by a child or pet, seek

emergency assistance immediately. Clean up any ground

spills immediately.
Coolant Level
The coolant bottle provides a quick visual method for

determining that the coolant level is adequate. With the

engine OFF and cold, the level of the engine coolant

(antifreeze) in the bottle should be between the ranges

indicated on the bottle.
The radiator normally remains completely full, so there is

no need to remove the radiator/coolant pressure cap

unless checking for engine coolant (antifreeze) freeze

point or replacing coolant. Advise your service attendant

of this. As long as the engine operating temperature is

satisfactory, the coolant bottle need only be checked once

a month.

When additional engine coolant (antifreeze) is needed to

maintain the proper level, only OAT coolant that meets

the requirements of Chrysler Material Standard MS.90032

should be added to the coolant bottle. Do not overfill.
Points To Remember

NOTE:

When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles/

kilometers of operation, you may observe vapor coming

from the front of the engine compartment. This is nor-

mally a result of moisture from rain, snow, or high

humidity accumulating on the radiator and being vapor-

ized when the thermostat opens, allowing hot engine

coolant (antifreeze) to enter the radiator.
If an examination of your engine compartment shows no

evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be

safely driven. The vapor will soon dissipate.
• Do not overfill the coolant expansion bottle.
