Engine
Coolant
The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with
DEX-COOL@ engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to
remain in your vehicle for
5
years or
150,000
miles
(240
000
km), whichever occurs first,
if
you add
only DEX-COOL@ extended life coolant.
The following explains your cooling system and how to
add coolant when it is low.
If
you have a problem
with engine overheating, see
Engine Overheating on
page
5-26.
A
5060
mixture of clean, drinkable water and
DEX-COOL@
coolant will:
Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C).
Give boiling protection up to 265°F
(129°C).
0
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning messages and gages work as they
should.
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.
