Your vehicle was factory-filled with a 50/50 engine coolant and water
concentration. If the concentration of coolant falls below 40% or above
60%, the engine parts could become damaged or not work properly.
A
50–50 mixture of coolant and water provides the following:
•
Freeze protection down to -36° C (-34° F).
•
Boiling protection up to 129° C (265° F).
•
Protection against rust and other forms of corrosion.
•
Enables calibrated gauges to work properly.
When the engine is cold, check the
level of the engine coolant in the
reservoir.
•
The engine coolant should be at the “FULL COLD” level or within the
“COLD FILL RANGE” as listed on the engine coolant reservoir
(depending upon application).
•
Refer to the
Scheduled Maintenance Guide
for service interval
schedules.
•
Be sure to read and understand
Precautions when servicing your
vehicle
in this chapter.
