If there seems to be no leak, check to
see if the electric engine fan
is
running.
If
the
engine is overheating, the fan
should be running. If it isn’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
FULL,
add a 50/50 mixture
of
clean
water
(preferably distilled) and the
proper antifreeze at the coolant recovery
tank. (See “Engine Coolant”
in
the
Index for more information about the
proper coolant mix.)

Adding
only
plain water
to
L
your
cooling
system
can
be
dangerous. Plain water,
or
some
other liquid, like
alcohol, can
boil
before the proper coolant
mix
will.
Your
vehicle’s
coolant
warning
system is
set
for
the
proper
coolant
mix.
With
plain
water,
or
the
wrong
mix,
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
mix
of
clean
water
and
a
proper
antifreeze.
