Warning
An underbonnet electric fan can
start up even when the engine is
not running and can cause injury.
Keep hands, clothing, and tools
away from any underbonnet
electric fan.
{
Warning
Do not touch heater or radiator
hoses, or other engine parts. They
can be very hot and can burn you.
Do not run the engine if there is a
leak; all coolant could leak out.
That could cause an engine fire and
can burn you. Fix any leak before
driving the vehicle.
Engine Coolant
The cooling system in the vehicle is
filled with DEX-COOL engine coolant.
This coolant is designed to remain in
the vehicle for 5 years or 240 000 km
(150,000 mi), whichever occurs first.
The following explains the cooling
system and how to check and add
coolant when it is low. If there is a
problem with engine overheating, see
.
What to Use
{
Warning
Plain water, or other liquids such as
alcohol, may boil before the proper
coolant mixture does. With plain
water or the wrong mixture, the
engine could get too hot but there
would not be an 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. 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
Caution
Do not use anything other than a
mix of DEX-COOL coolant that
meets GM Standard GMW3420 and
clean, drinkable water. Anything
else can cause damage to the
engine cooling system and the
vehicle, which would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Never dispose of engine coolant by
putting it in the waste bin, or by
pouring it on the ground or into
