WARNING: Do not put engine coolant in the windshield washer

fluid reservoir. If engine coolant is sprayed onto the windshield,

it could make it difficult to see through the windshield.

When adding coolant, make sure it is a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant

and distilled water. Add the mixture to the coolant reservoir,

when the

engine is cool

, until the appropriate fill level is obtained.

NEVER increase the coolant concentration above 60%.

NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%.

Engine coolant concentrations above 60% or below 40% will

decrease the freeze protection characteristics of the engine

coolant and may cause engine damage.

A large amount of water without engine coolant may be added, in case of

emergency, to reach a vehicle service location. In this instance, the

cooling system must be drained and refilled with a 50/50 mixture of

engine coolant and distilled water as soon as possible. Water alone

(without engine coolant) can cause engine damage from corrosion,

overheating or freezing.
For vehicles with overflow coolant systems with a non-pressurized cap

on the coolant recovery system, add coolant to the coolant recovery

reservoir when the engine is cool. Add the proper mixture of coolant and

water to the “FULL COLD” level. For all other vehicles, which have a

coolant degas system with a pressurized cap, or if it is necessary to

remove the coolant pressure relief cap on the radiator of a vehicle with

an overflow system, follow these steps to add engine coolant.

Note:

The 3.0L and 4.0L V6 engines use the overflow system, and the

2.3L I4 engines use the degas system.

WARNING: To avoid scalding hot steam or coolant from being

released from the engine cooling system, never remove the

reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot. Failure to

follow this warning may result in damage to the engine’s cooling

system and possible severe personal injury.

1. Before you remove the cap, turn the engine off and let it cool.
2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly

turn cap counterclockwise until pressure begins to release.

3. Step back while the pressure releases.
