Notice: If an improper coolant mixture is used, the
engine could overheat and be badly damaged. The
repair cost would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Too much water in the mixture can freeze
and crack the engine, radiator, heater core, and
other parts.
Notice: If extra inhibitors and/or additives are used
in the vehicle's cooling system, the vehicle could be
damaged. Use only the proper mixture of the engine
coolant listed in this manual for the cooling system.
See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on
page 7‑8 for more information.
Never dispose of engine coolant by putting it in
the trash, pouring it on the ground, or into sewers,
streams or bodies of water. Have the coolant changed
by an authorized service center, familiar with legal
requirements regarding used coolant disposal. This
will help protect the environment and your health.
Checking Coolant
The vehicle must be on a level surface when checking
the coolant level.
The coolant recovery
tank cap has this
symbol on it. The tank
is located in the engine
compartment toward the
front of the engine on the
passenger's side of the
vehicle.
See Engine Compartment Overview on page 6‑14 for
more information on location.
Check to see if coolant is visible in the coolant recovery
tank. If the coolant inside the coolant recovery tank is
boiling, do not do anything else until it cools down.
If coolant is visible but the coolant level is not at or
above the COLD FILL mark, add a 50/50 mixture of
clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant at the
coolant recovery tank, but be sure the cooling system is
cool before this is done.
