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.
Never dispose of engine coolant
by putting it in the trash, pouring
it on the ground, into sewers,
into 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.
Check coolant as follows:
1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Locate the engine coolant
recovery bottle. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10‑6.
3. Turn the coolant dipstick cap
counterclockwise and slowly
pull out the dipstick.
4. There are maximum and
minimum markings on the
dipstick. When the engine is
cold, the coolant level should
be at or above the MIN mark
on the dipstick. After the
vehicle has been driven and
the engine is at normal operating
temperature, the level should be
somewhere between half full and
the maximum mark.
5. If the coolant level is correct,
replace the dipstick and turn the
cap clockwise to secure.
