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 the 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.
