When the engine is cool, the cool-
ant level should be between the
MIN
and
MAX
marks on the cool-
ant reservoir. The level of coolant
rises as the engine warms and
drops back as the engine cools.
CAUTION
Adding only plain water or a
liquid other than the recom-
mended coolant can be
dangerous. The engine could
overheat but you would not get
the overheat warning. The
engine could catch on fire and
you or others could be burned.
Do not use plain water, alcohol
or a methanol based antifreeze
in the cooling system.
Use only the proper mixture of
demineralized water and the
specified antifreeze.
NOTICE
Do not substitute any liquids for
the proper coolant mixture.
Otherwise, premature corro-
sion may result and the engine
coolant will require change
sooner.
If the coolant level is low, add a
50/50 mixture of demineralized
water and a good quality phos-
phate antifreeze to bring the level
up to the proper mark.
In extremely cold weather, add a
mixture of 40 percent water and
60 percent antifreeze.

Section
4
CAUTION
Never open the cap when the
engine and cooling system are
hot. Scalding fluid and steam
can escape and burn you.
CAUTION
Engine coolant can be hazard-
ous. If ingested, it can cause
illness and death. Keep out of
reach of children. Avoid repeat-
ed or prolonged contact with
skin. Wash hands after
handling.
It is not necessary to add coolant
more frequently than recom-
mended. If you add coolant more
often, this may be a sign that your
engine needs maintenance. See
your dealer for service.
See the Maintenance Schedule,
later in this section, to find out
when the coolant must be
replaced.
Automatic Transmission
Fluid (If equipped)
It is not necessary to regularly
change the transmission fluid in
your vehicle, however you may
have the fluid level checked by
your dealer or service center when
you have the oil changed.
NOTICE
Too much or too little fluid can
damage your transmission.
Make sure the transmission fluid is
at the proper level.
A decrease in the fluid level may
indicate a leak.
If there is a leak, have the vehicle
serviced as soon as possible.
