WARNING!
The warning graphic that appears on the cooling
system pressure cap is a safety precaution for “DO
NOT OPEN HOT”. Never add coolant (antifreeze)
when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or
remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat
causes pressure to build up in the cooling system. To
prevent scalding or injury, do not remove the pres-
sure cap while the system is hot or under pressure.
Do not use a pressure cap other than the one
specified for your vehicle. Personal injury or en-
gine damage may result.
Maintain coolant (antifreeze) concentration at a mini-
mum of 50% MOPAR Antifreeze/Coolant 5
Year/100,000 Mile Formula HOAT (Hybrid Organic Ad-
ditive Technology) and distilled/deionized water for
proper corrosion protection.
Check the coolant (antifreeze) level with the engine off. If
the coolant (antifreeze) level is below the Cold Fill mark,
add coolant until it reaches the MAX level mark.
