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:

• Improved freeze protection.

• Improved boiling protection .

• Protection against rust and other forms of corrosion.

• Proper function of calibrated gauges.

When the engine is cold, check the

level of the engine coolant in the

reservoir.

• The engine coolant should be at the FULL COLD level, or within the

COLD FILL or MIN / MAX range as listed on the engine coolant

reservoir (depending upon application).

• Refer to scheduled maintenance information for service interval

schedules.

If the engine coolant has not been checked at the recommended interval,

the engine coolant reservoir may become low or empty. If the reservoir is

low or empty, add engine coolant to the reservoir. Refer to Adding

engine coolant in this chapter.

Note: Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not use engine

coolant/antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside of its specified

function and vehicle location.

Adding engine coolant

When adding coolant, make sure it is a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant

and distilled water. Add the mixture to the coolant reservoir, when the

engine is cool, until the appropriate fill level is obtained. If coolant is

filled to the COLD FILL RANGE or FULL COLD level when the engine is

not cool, the system will remain underfilled.

WARNING: Do not add engine coolant when the engine is hot.

Steam and scalding liquids released from a hot cooling system

can burn you badly. Also, you can be burned if you spill coolant on hot

engine parts.
