Engine Coolant
The cooling system in the vehicle
®
is filled with DEX-COOL
coolant. This coolant is designed to
remain in the vehicle for five years
or 240 000 km (150,000 miles),
whichever occurs first.
The following explains the cooling
system and how to check and add
coolant when it is low. If there is a
problem with engine overheating,
see Engine Overheating on
page 10 22.

Adding only plain water to
the cooling system can be
dangerous. Plain water, or some
other liquid such as alcohol,
can boil before the proper
coolant mixture will. The vehicle's
