COOLANT
Your vehicle cooling system is filled with
silicate based coolant.
In the correct mixture, this coolant pro-
vides the cooling and heating system with
excellent protection against corrosion and
freezing.
When the engine is cool, the coolant level
should be between the MIN and MAX
mark on the coolant reservoir. The level of
coolant rises as the engine warms and
drops back as the engine cools.
SERVICE AND VEHICLE CARE 7–9
Plain water or the wrong mixture can
damage the cooling system.
• Do not use plain water, alcohol or
methanol antifreeze in coolant sys-
tem.
The engine may overheat or even catch
fire.
If the coolant level falls below the MIN
mark, add the proper coolant mixture at the
coolant reservoir, but only when the en-
gine is cool.
In order to protect your vehicle in ex-
tremely cold weather, use GMI approved
coolant.
