ENGINE COOLANT

Checking engine coolant

The concentration and level of

engine coolant should be checked

at the mileage intervals listed in the

Scheduled Maintenance Guide".

The coolant concentration should

be maintained at 50/50 coolant and

water, which equates to a freeze

point of -36

°

C (-34

°

F). Coolant

concentration testing is possible

with a hydrometer or antifreeze

tester (such as the Rotunda Battery

and Antifreeze Tester, 014ćR1060).

The level of coolant should be

maintained at the "cold full" or

"cold fill range" level in the coolant

reservoir. If the level falls below,

add coolant per the instructions in

the Adding Engine Coolant

section.
Your vehicle was factoryĆfilled with

a 50/50 engine coolant and water

concentration. If the concentration

of coolant falls below 40% or above

60%, the engine parts could

become damaged or not work

properly.
