When the engine is cold, check the
level of the engine coolant in the
reservoir.

“COLD FILL RANGE” as listed on the engine coolant reservoir
(depending upon application).

Refer to the

Scheduled Maintenance

section for service interval

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

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.

Adding engine coolant

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.

WARNING: Do not add engine coolant when the engine is hot.
Steam and scalding liquids released from a hot cooling system
can burn you badly. Also, you can be burned if you spill coolant
on hot engine parts.

WARNING: Do not put engine coolant in the windshield washer
fluid container. If sprayed on the windshield, engine coolant
could make it difficult to see through the windshield.
