• A large amount of water without engine coolant may be added, in case

of emergency, to reach a vehicle service location. In this instance, the

cooling system must be drained and refilled with a 50/50 mixture of

engine coolant and distilled water as soon as possible. Water alone

(without engine coolant) can cause engine damage from corrosion,

overheating or freezing.

• Do not use alcohol, methanol, brine or any engine coolants

mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze (coolant). Alcohol

and other liquids can cause engine damage from overheating or

freezing.

• Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to the coolant. These

can be harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the engine

coolant.

Add the proper mixture of coolant and water to the “COLD FILL

RANGE” or “FULL COLD” level. Follow these steps to add engine

coolant.

To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure the engine is

cool before unscrewing the coolant pressure relief cap. The

cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out

forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly.

1. Before you begin, turn the engine off and let it cool.

2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick cloth around the coolant

pressure relief cap on the coolant reservoir (an opaque plastic bottle).

Slowly turn cap counterclockwise (left) until pressure begins to release.

3. Step back while the pressure releases.

4. When you are sure that all the pressure has been released, use the

cloth to turn it counterclockwise and remove the cap.

5. Fill the coolant reservoir slowly with the proper coolant mixture (see

above), to within the “COLD FILL RANGE” or “FULL COLD” level on the

reservoir.

6. Replace the cap. Turn until tightly installed. Turn cap until click is

heard/felt to ensure it is tightly installed.

After any coolant has been added, check the coolant concentration, refer

to the Checking engine coolant section. If the concentration is not

50/50 (protection to –34° F/–36° C), drain some coolant and adjust the

concentration. It may take several drains and additions to obtain a 50/50

coolant concentration.
