If there seems to be no leak, check to

vehicle needs service.
How to Add Coolant to the Coolant
Recovery Tank
If you haven't found a problem yet, but
the coolant level isn't at or above
FULL, add a 50/50 mixture of clean
water (preferably distilled) and the
proper antifreeze at the coolant recovery
tank. (See "Engine Coolant" in the
Index for more information about the
proper coolant mix.)

Adding only plain water

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.
