Severe climates

If you drive in extremely cold climates:

• It may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration

above 50%.

• NEVER increase the coolant concentration above 60%.

• A coolant concentration of 60% will provide improved freeze

point protection. Increased engine coolant concentrations

above 60% will decrease the overheat protection

characteristics of the engine coolant and may cause engine

damage.

• If available, refer to the chart on the coolant container to

ensure the coolant concentration in your vehicle will provide

adequate freeze protection at the temperatures in which you

drive in the winter months.

If you drive in extremely hot climates:

• It is still necessary to maintain the coolant concentration

above 40%.

• NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%.

• Decreased engine coolant concentrations below 40% will

decrease the corrosion/freeze protection characteristics of the

engine coolant and may cause engine damage.

• If available, refer to the chart on the coolant container to

ensure the coolant concentration in your vehicle will provide

adequate protection at the temperatures in which you drive.

Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use a 50/50

mixture of engine coolant and distilled water for optimum cooling system

and engine protection.

Reduced engine power due to high temperature

If the engine begins to overheat:

• The engine malfunction

indicator will illuminate.

• The service engine soon

indicator will illuminate.

If either lamp illuminates when the engine is running, this indicates a

fault. The engine will continue to run, but it may have limited power. If it

flashes when you are driving, reduce the speed of your vehicle

immediately. If it continues to flash, avoid heavy acceleration or

deceleration. Have the system checked by a properly trained technician

immediately.
