used up to five years or 104,000 miles
(169 000 km) before replacement. To pre-
vent reducing this extended maintenance
period, it is important that you use the
same engine coolant (antifreeze) through-
out the life of your vehicle.
Please review these recommendations for
using Hybrid Organic Additive Technol-
ogy (HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze).
When adding engine coolant (antifreeze):
•
The manufacturer recommends using
MOPAR
T
Antifreeze/Coolant
5
Year/100,000 Mile Formula HOAT (Hy-
brid Organic Additive Technology) or
equivalent.
•
Mix a minimum solution of 50% HOAT
engine coolant and distilled water. Use
higher concentrations (not to exceed
70%) if temperatures below
2
34°F
(
2
37°C) are anticipated.
•
Use only high purity water such as
distilled or deionized water when mix-
ing the water/engine coolant (anti-
freeze) solution. The use of lower qual-
ity water will reduce the amount of
corrosion protection in the engine cool-
ing system.
Please note that it is the owner’s respon-
sibility to maintain the proper level of pro-
tection against freezing according to the
temperatures occurring in the area where
the vehicle is operated.
NOTE:
Mixing engine coolant (antifreeze)
types will decrease the life of the engine
coolant (antifreeze) and will require more
frequent coolant changes.
Cooling System Pressure Cap
The cap must be fully tightened to prevent
loss of engine coolant (antifreeze), and to
ensure that engine coolant (antifreeze) will
return to the radiator from the coolant
recovery bottle.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned
if there is any accumulation of foreign
material on the sealing surfaces.
