NOTICE:

If you use an improper coolant mixture, your
engine could overheat and be badly damaged.
The repair cost wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Too much water in the mixture can
freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core
and other parts.

If you have to add coolant more than four times a year,
have your dealer check your cooling system.

NOTICE:

If you use the proper coolant, you don’t have to
add extra inhibitors or additives which claim to
improve the system. These can be harmful.

Checking Coolant

The engine coolant r
ecovery tank is in the
engine compartment on
the passenger’s side of
the vehicle. See “Engine
Compartment Overview”
in the Index for more
information on location.

The vehicle must be on a level surface. When your
engine is cold, the coolant level should be at FULL
COLD, or a little higher. When your engine is warm,
the level should be at the base of the filler neck or a
little higher.
