How to Add Coolant to the Coolant
Recovery Tank
If you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant
level isn’t at or above the HOT LEVEL mark on the
vehicle with the specialty hood, or at or above the
COLD LEVEL mark on the vehicle with the sloped hood,
add a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and

engine coolant at the coolant recovery tank.
See “Engine Coolant” in the Index for more information.
CAUTION:
Adding only plain water to your cooling system
can be dangerous. Plain water, or some other
liquid such as alcohol, can boil before the proper
coolant mixture will. Your vehicle’s coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant
mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture,
your engine could get too hot but you wouldn’t
get the overheat warning. Your engine could
catch fire and you or others could be burned.
Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water
