What to Use
{
WARNING
Adding only plain water or some
other liquid to the cooling system
can be dangerous. Plain water
and other liquids, can boil before
the proper coolant mixture will.
The coolant warning system is set
for the proper coolant mixture.
With plain water or the wrong
mixture, the engine could get too
hot but you would not get the
overheat warning. The engine
could catch fire and you or
others could be burned. Use a
50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable
water and DEX-COOL coolant.
Use a 50/50 mixture of clean,
drinkable water and DEX-COOL
coolant. If using this mixture,
nothing else needs to be added.
This mixture:
. Gives freezing protection down
to -37°C (-34°F), outside
temperature.
. Gives boiling protection up to
129°C (265°F), engine
temperature.
. Protects against rust and
corrosion.
. Will not damage aluminium
parts.
. Helps keep the proper engine
temperature.
Notice: If improper coolant
mixture, inhibitors, or additives
are used in the vehicle cooling
system, the engine could
overheat and be damaged. Too
much water in the mixture can
freeze and crack engine cooling
parts. The repairs would not be
covered by the warranty. Use only
the proper mixture of engine
coolant for the cooling system.
See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11 ‑ 5 .
Never dispose of engine coolant by
putting it in the refuse, pouring it on
the ground, or into sewers, streams,
or bodies of water. Have the coolant
changed by an authorised service
centre, 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.
The engine coolant reservoir is in
the engine compartment on the
driver side of the vehicle. See
Engine Compartment Overview on
