Fill your engine coolant reservoir as outlined in

in this chapter.

Severe climates

If you drive in extremely cold climates (less than –36° C [–34° F]):

It may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration
above 50%.

NEVER increase the coolant concentration above 60%.

Increased engine coolant concentrations above 60% will
decrease the overheat protection characteristics of the engine
coolant and may cause engine damage.

Refer to the chart on the coolant container to ensure the
coolant concentration in your vehicle will provide adequate
freeze protection at the temperatures in which you drive in the
winter months.

If you drive in extremely hot climates:

It is still necessary to maintain the coolant concentration
above 40%.

NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%.

Decreased engine coolant concentrations below 40% will
decrease the corrosion protection characteristics of the engine
coolant and may cause engine damage.

Decreased engine coolant concentrations below 40% will
decrease the freeze protection characteristics of the engine
coolant and may cause engine damage.

Refer to the chart on the coolant container to ensure the
coolant concentration in your vehicle will provide adequate
protection at the temperatures in which you drive.

Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use a 50/50
mixture of engine coolant and distilled water for optimum cooling system
and engine protection.

What you should know about Limp to Safety cooling (2.3L I4
engines only)

If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to
be driven temporarily to a place of safety. The distance it can be driven
depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load and terrain, so when the
engine drops into this mode, it is because the engine has overheated and
you need to take special care to avoid it shutting down.

  • 2.3L I4 engines only) If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to be driven temporarily to a place of safety.
  • It may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration above 50%.
  • NEVER increase the coolant concentration above 60%.
  • Increased engine coolant concentrations above 60% will decrease the overheat protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may cause engine damage.
