use only DEX COOL
If coolant other than DEX
to the system, premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the
engine coolant will require change sooner
30,000 miles (50 000 km) or 24 months,
whichever occurs first. Damage caused by
the use of coolant other than DEX
not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
If there seems to be no leak, with the engine on, check to
see if the electric engine cooling fans are running. If the
engine is overheating, both fans should be running.

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 FULL COLD mark, add a 50/50 mixture of
clean, drinkable water and DEX
coolant at the coolant recovery tank. See "Engine
Coolant" in the Index for more information.
CAUTION:
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 mixture will. Your vehicle's coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant
mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture,
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 mixture of clean, drinkable water
