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
mark,
add
a
50/50
mixture
of
clean water
(preferably distilled) and
a
proper antifi-eeze
at
the
coolant recovery
tank.
(See
“Engine
Coolant”
in
the
Index
for
more
information about the proper coolant
mix.)
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 mix
will.
Your vehicle’s coolant warning
system is set
for
the proper coolant mix. With
plain
water
or
the wrong
mix,
your engine couId
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.
NOTICE:
In
cold weather, water can freeze and crack the
engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
Use the recommended coolant and the proper
coolant
mix.
