ter. Use higher concentrations (not to exceed
70%) if temperatures below −34°F (−37°C)
are anticipated. Please contact your autho-
rized dealer for assistance.
•
Use only high purity water such as distilled or
deionized water when mixing the water/
engine coolant (antifreeze) solution. The use
of lower quality water will reduce the amount
of corrosion protection in the engine cooling
system.
NOTE:
•
It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain
the proper level of protection against
freezing according to the temperatures
occurring in the area where the vehicle is
operated.
•
Some vehicles require special tools to add
coolant properly. Failure to fill these sys-
tems properly could lead to severe inter-
nal engine damage. If any coolant is
needed to be added to the system, please
contact your local authorized dealer.
•
Mixing engine coolant (antifreeze) types is
not recommended and can result in cool-
ing system damage. If HOAT and OAT
coolant are mixed in an emergency, have a
authorized dealer drain, flush, and refill
with
OAT coolant (conforming to
MS.90032) as soon as possible.
Cooling System Pressure Cap
The cap must be fully tightened to prevent loss
of engine coolant (antifreeze), and to insure that
engine coolant (antifreeze) will return to the
radiator from the coolant recovery bottle.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if
there is any accumulation of foreign material on
the sealing surfaces.
WARNING!
•
The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT”
on the cooling system pressure cap are a
safety precaution. Never add engine cool-
ant (antifreeze) when the engine is over-
heated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to
cool an overheated engine. Heat causes
pressure to build up in the cooling system.
To prevent scalding or injury, do not re-
move the pressure cap while the system is
hot or under pressure.
•
Do not use a pressure cap other than the
one specified for your vehicle. Personal
injury or engine damage may result.
Disposal Of Used Engine Coolant
Used ethylene glycol-based engine coolant (an-
tifreeze) is a regulated substance requiring
proper disposal. Check with your local authori-
ties to determine the disposal rules for your
community. To prevent ingestion by animals or
children, do not store ethylene glycol-based
engine coolant (antifreeze) in open containers
or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground. If
ingested by a child or pet, seek emergency
assistance immediately. Clean up any ground
spills immediately.
Coolant Level
The coolant bottle provides a quick visual
method for determining that the coolant level is
adequate. With the engine OFF and cold, the
level of the engine coolant (antifreeze) in the
bottle should be between the ranges indicated
on the bottle.
The radiator normally remains completely full,
so there is no need to remove the radiator/
coolant pressure cap unless checking for engine
coolant (antifreeze) freeze point or replacing
coolant. Advise your service attendant of this. As
long as the engine operating temperature is
satisfactory, the coolant bottle need only be
checked once a month.
When additional engine coolant (antifreeze) is
needed to maintain the proper level, only OAT
coolant that meets the requirements of FCA
Material Standard MS.90032 should be added
to the coolant bottle. Do not overfill.
