How to Add
Coolant to the Coolant
Recovery
Tank
If you haven't found a problem yet, but the coolant level
isn't at the COLD mark, add a 50/50 mixture of
c k m
water (preferably distilled) and DEX-COOL"
(orange-colored, silicate-free) antifreeze at the coolant
recovery
tank. (See
"Engine Coolant" in the Index for
more
information.)
Adding only plain water to your cooling system
can be dangerous. Plain water, or some other

plain water or the wrong
mix,

warning. Your engine 'could catch
fire and
you or
others could be burned. Use a
50/50 mix
