WARNING
You can be burned if you spill
coolant on hot engine parts.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and it will burn if the engine parts
are hot enough. Do not spill

specific coolant fill procedure.
Failure to follow this procedure
could cause the engine to
overheat and be severely
damaged.

If an improper coolant
mixture is used, the engine could
overheat and be badly damaged.
The repair cost would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Too much water in the mixture
can freeze and crack the engine,
radiator, heater core, and other
parts.
Add coolant as follows:
1. Turn the engine coolant recovery
bottle dipstick cap
counterclockwise and slowly pull
out the dipstick.
2. Pour the coolant into the engine
coolant recovery bottle.
3. When the level is correct,
replace the dipstick and turn the
cap clockwise to secure.
