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 coolant
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 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 coolant.
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.
