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 coolant recovery

bottle. See Engine Compartment
Overview on page 9-6
.

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.

WARNING

You can be burned if you spill
coolant on hot engine parts.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and it will burn if the engine parts
are hot enough. Do not spill
coolant on a hot engine.

Notice: This vehicle has a
specific coolant fill procedure.
Failure to follow this procedure
could cause the engine to
overheat and be severely
damaged.

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.
