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 vehicle'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 50/50 mix
of clean water and a proper
antifreeze.
CAUTION
A
You can be burned if you spill
coolant on hot engine parts.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and
it
will burn if the engine parts
are hot enough. Don't spill coolant
on a hot engine.
When the coolant in the coolant
recovery tank is at or above the F'ULL
HOT mark, start your vehicle.
If the overheat warning continues,
there's one more thing you can try. You
can add the proper coolant mix directly
to the radiator, but be sure the cooling
system is cool before you do it.
