Check the coolant level in the
reservoir when the engine is cold.
If the coolant level is below the MIN
level, add coolant to the MAX level.
If the reservoir is empty, check the
coolant level in the radiator when
the engine is cold. If there is
insufficient coolant in the radiator, fill
the radiator with coolant up to the
filler opening and also add it to the
reservoir up to the MAX level.
The vehicle contains long life
coolant. The life expectancy of the
factory-fill coolant is 168,000 km
(105,000 miles) or seven years.
Mixing any other type of coolant or
the use of non-distilled water will
reduce the life expectancy of the
factory-fill coolant. Refer to the
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants
for more details.
The engine coolant reservoir is a
pressurized tank. When installing
the cap, tighten.
If the cooling system frequently
requires coolant, have it checked by
your dealer.
Changing Engine Coolant
A dealer can change the engine
coolant. The service procedure can
