When the engine is cold, check the
level of the engine coolant in the
reservoir.
•
The engine coolant should be at the “cold fill level” as listed on the
engine coolant reservoir.
•
Refer to the scheduled maintenance guide for service interval
schedules.
•
Be sure to read and understand
Precautions when servicing your
vehicle
in this chapter.
If the engine coolant has not been checked at the recommended interval,
the engine coolant reservoir may become low or empty:
•
If the reservoir is low, add engine coolant to the reservoir. Refer to
Adding engine coolant
in this chapter.
•
If the engine coolant reservoir has become completely empty, have the
engine cooling system inspected and refilled by a qualified service
technician.
Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not use engine
coolant, antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside of its
specified function and vehicle location.
