How
to
Add
Coolant
to
the
Coolant
Recovery
Tank
If
you
haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant level
isn’t at FULL COLD, 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.)
A
CAUTION:
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.
CAUTION: (Continued)
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.
