CAUTION
The cooling system in your
vehicle is pressurized. Only add
coolant when the cooling
system or coolant is cold.
The cooling system in your vehicle
is designed to use a coolant (a
mixture of ethylene glycol,
corrosion inhibitors and water)
rather than plain water. Use a
50/50 mixture of clean water and
®
DEX-COOL coolant. If you use
this mixture, you don't need to
add anything else.
CAUTION
Adding only plain water or a
liquid other than the recom-
mended coolant can be
dangerous. The engine could
overheat, but you would not
get the overheat warning. The
engine could catch on fire and
you or others could be burned.
