How
to
Add
Coolant
to
the Coolant
Recovery Tank
If you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant
level isn’t at the
COLD
mark, add
a
50/50
mixture
of
clean
water
(preferably distilled) and DEX-COOL@
(silicate-free) antifreeze at the coolant recovery
tank. (See “Engine Coolant” in the Index for
more information.)

‘JTION:
-
Adding only plain water to your cooling system
can be dangerous. Plain water, or some other
liquid like alcohol, can boil before the proper
coolant mix will. Your vehicle’s coolant warning
system is set for the proper coolant
mix.
With
plain water or the wrong mix, your engine could
get too hot but you wouldn’t get the overheat
warning. Your engine could catch fire and you or
others could be burned. Use a
50/50
mix
of
clean
water and
DEX-COOL@
coolant.
I
NOTICE:
In cold weather, water can freeze and crack the
engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
Use the recommended coolant and the proper
coolant mix.
