A
CAUTICY:
Adding only plain water to your cooling system
,can be dangerous. Plain water, or some other
liquid like alcohol, can boil before the proper
coolant mix will. Your vehi.cle's coolant warning
system
is
set for the proper coolant mix. With
plain water or the wrong mix, your engine could
get too hot but you wouldn't get the overheat
warning. Your engine could catch fire
and
you or
others could be burned. Use a 50150 mix-of clean
water and
DEX-COOL
(orange-colored,
silicate-free) antifreeze.
-
NOTICE:
If you use .an improper coolant mix, your engine
could overheat and be badly damaged. The
repair cost wouldn't be covered
by
your
warranty. Too much water in the mix can freeze
and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and
other parts.
If
you have to add coolant more than four times a year,
have your dealer check your cooling system.
~~
NOTICE:
If you use the proper coolant, you don't have to
add extra inhibitors or additives which claim to
improve the system. These can be harmful.
