How

to Check

You

do

not need to check

the

fluid level unless you

suspect

a

clutch problem.

To

check the fluid level, take

the cap

off.

If

the fluid reaches the step inside the

reservoir, the fluid level

is

correct.

Engine

Coolant

The cooling system

in

your vehicle is filled

with DEX-COOL@ engine coolant. This coolant

is designed to remain in your vehicle for

5

years

or

150,000

miles

(240

000

km), whichever occurs first,

if you add only DEX-COOL@ extended life coolant.

The following explains your cooling system and how to add

coolant when it is low.

If

you

have

a

problem with engine

overheating, see “Engine Overheating”

in

the Index.

A

50/50

mixture

of

water and DEX-COOL@ coolant will:

0

Give freezing protection down to

-34°F

(-37°C).

0

Give boiling protection up to

265

“F

(129°C).

0

Protect against rust and corrosion.

0

Help keep the proper engine temperature.

Let the warning lights and

gages

work as

they should.

NOTICE:

I

When adding coolant,

it

is

important that you

use only

DEX-COOL@

(silicate-free) coolant.

If coolant other than

DEX-COOL’

is added

to the system, premature engine, heater core or

radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the

engine coolant will require change sooner

--

at

30,000

miles

(50

000

km)

or

24

months, whichever

occurs

first.

Damage caused by the use of coolant

other than

DEX-COOL@

is

not covered

by

your

new vehicle warranty.
