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