• If you do not allow the engine to relearn its idle trim, the idle

quality of your vehicle may be adversely affected until the idle

trim is eventually relearned.

If the battery has been disconnected or a new battery has been installed,

the clock and the preset radio stations must be reset once the battery is

reconnected.

• Always dispose of automotive

batteries in a responsible manner.

Follow your local authorized

standards for disposal. Call your

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 distilled 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, 014–R1060). The level of coolant

should be maintained at the “cold full” of “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 factory-filled 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. A

50–50 mixture of coolant and water provides the following:

• Freeze protection down to -36° C (-34° F).

• Boiling protection up to 129° C (265° F).

• Protection against rust and other forms of corrosion.

• Enables calibrated gauges to work properly.
