• The vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles (16 km) or more to

relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy.

• 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 radio settings 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

local authorized recycling center

to find out more about recycling

automotive batteries.

ENGINE COOLANT

Checking engine coolant

The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the

intervals listed in scheduled maintenance information. The coolant

concentration should be maintained at 50/50 coolant and distilled water,

which equates to a freeze point of -34°F (-36°C). 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 “FULL COLD” level or within the “COLD

FILL RANGE” in the coolant reservoir. If the level falls below, add

coolant per the instructions in the Adding engine coolant section.
