COOLANT
Your vehicle cooling system is filled
with silicate based coolant.
In the correct mixture, this coolant pro-
vides the cooling and heating system
with excellent protection against corro-
sion and freezing.
When the engine is cool, the coolant
level should be between the MIN and
MAX mark on the coolant reservoir.
The level of coolant rises as the engine
warms and drops back as the engine
cools.

CAUTION
Plain water or the wrong mixture can
damage the cooling system.
• Do not use plain water, alcohol or
methanol antifreeze in coolant sys-
tem.
• Use only 50:50 mix of demineral-
ized water and proper antifreeze
specified for use with your vehicle.
The engine may overheat or even
catch fire.
If the coolant level falls below the MIN
mark, refill the radiator with 50/50 mix
of de-mineralized water and silicate an-
tifreeze.
In order to protect your vehicle in ex-
tremely cold weather, use mix of 40 per-
cent water and 60 percent antifreeze.
