When the engine is cold, check the

level of the engine coolant in the

reservoir.

• The engine coolant should be at the “cold fill level” or within the “cold

fill range” as listed on the engine coolant reservoir (depending upon

application).

• Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide for service interval

schedules.

• Be sure to read and understand Precautions when servicing your

vehicle in this chapter.

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.

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.
