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” or within the “cold
fill range” as listed on the engine coolant reservoir (depending upon
application).
•
Confirm the color and type of engine coolant before adding, to avoid
mixing incompatible products.
•
Refer to the
service maintenance section
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 or empty, add engine coolant to the reservoir. Refer to
Adding
engine coolant
in this chapter.
WARNING: Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not
use engine coolant, antifreeze or windshield washer fluid
outside of its specified function and vehicle location.

engine cooling system. If you are unsure which type of coolant
your vehicle requires, contact your local authorized dealer.
