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
FULL
COLD
mark,
add a
50/50
mixture of
clean water
(preferably distilled) and
DEX-COOL@
(silicate-free)
antifreeze
at the coolant recovery
tank.
(See
“Engine C00lant’’
in
the Index for more information.)
I
A
CAUTION:
I
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.
CAUTION: (Continued)
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
DEX-COOL@
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.
