NOTICE:

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.

If there seems to be no leak, with the engine on, check to

see if the electric engine cooling fans are running. If the

engine is overheating, both fans should be running. If

they aren’t, your vehicle needs service.

How to Add Coolant to the Coolant

Recovery Tank

If you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant level

isn’t at or above the FULL COLD mark, add a 50/50

mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL

engine coolant at the coolant recovery tank. (See

“Engine Coolant” in the Index for more information.)

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 mixture will. Your vehicle’s coolant

warning system is set for the proper coolant

mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture,

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 mixture of clean, drinkable water and

DEX

-COOL coolant.
