ENGINE COOLANT
Check the level of the
engine coolant in the
reservoir. 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 empty. If this occurs, add engine
coolant to the reservoir. For more information on
engine coolant maintenance, refer to Adding engine
coolant in this chapter.
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
Do not put engine coolant in the reservoir
for the windshield washer fluid.
Do not mix conventional green coolant, orange
coolant or recycled coolants together in your
vehicle. Use only the type of coolant with which
your vehicle was originally equipped. If you are
unsure which type of coolant your vehicle
requires, contact your local dealer.
If sprayed on the windshield, engine coolant could
make it difficult to see through the windshield.
