mixture can freeze and crack
engine cooling parts. The repairs
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Use only the
proper mixture of engine coolant
for the cooling system. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11-12.
Never dispose of engine coolant by
putting it in the trash, pouring it on
the ground, or pouring it into
sewers, streams or bodies of water.
Have the coolant changed by an
authorized service center, familiar
with legal requirements regarding
used coolant disposal. This will help
protect the environment and your
health.
Checking Coolant
The vehicle must be on a level
surface when checking the coolant
level.
To check coolant:
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Locate the coolant recovery
reservoir. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10-5.
3. Turn the coolant recovery
reservoir dipstick cap
counterclockwise and slowly pull
out the dipstick. There are
maximum and minimum
markings on the dipstick.
4. When the engine is cold, the
coolant level should be at or
above the minimum mark (1).
After the vehicle has been driven
and the engine is at normal
operating temperature, the level
should be somewhere between
half full and the maximum
mark (2).
5. If the coolant level is correct,
replace the coolant recovery
reservoir dipstick cap and turn
clockwise to secure.
