ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

WARNINGS

Do not add engine coolant when the

engine is hot. Steam and scalding

liquids released from a hot cooling

system can burn you badly. Also, spilling

coolant on hot engine parts can burn you.

Do not put engine coolant in the

windshield washer fluid container. If

sprayed on the windshield, engine

coolant could make it difficult to see

through the windshield.

To reduce the risk of personal injury,

make sure the engine is cool before

unscrewing the coolant pressure

relief cap. The cooling system is under

pressure. steam and hot liquid can come

out forcefully when you loosen the cap

slightly.

Do not add coolant further than the

MAX mark.

Checking the Engine Coolant

When the engine is cold, check the

concentration and level of the engine

coolant at the intervals listed in the

scheduled maintenance information. See

Scheduled Maintenance (page 458).

Note: Make sure that the coolant level is

between the MIN and MAX marks on the

coolant reservoir.

Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The

level may extend beyond the MAX mark.

Note: If the level is at the MIN mark, below

the MIN mark, or empty, add coolant

immediately. See Adding Engine Coolant

in this chapter.

Maintain coolant concentration within

48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze

point between -30°F (-34°C) and -34°F

(-37°C).

Note: For best results, coolant

concentration should be tested with a

refractometer such as Robinair Coolant and

Battery Refractometer 75240. We do not

recommend the use of hydrometers or

coolant test strips for measuring coolant

concentrations.

Note: Automotive fluids are not

interchangeable. Do not use engine coolant,

antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside

of its specified function and vehicle location.

Adding Engine Coolant

Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling

system sealants or additives as they can

cause damage to the engine cooling or

heating systems. Your warranty may not

cover these damages.

Note: During normal vehicle operation, the

engine coolant may change color from

orange to pink or light red. As long as the

engine coolant is clear and uncontaminated,

this color change does not indicate that the

engine coolant has degraded, nor does it

require that you drain the engine coolant,

flush the system or replace the engine

coolant.
