Engine Coolant - Chevrolet Captiva Owner's Manual

Warning
Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap when the engine and radiator are
hot. It could cause serious injury. The
engine must be cool before opening
the cap. Carefully open the cap,
relieving the pressure slowly.
Caution
Too low a coolant level can cause
engine damage.
If there seems to be no leak, with the
engine on, check to see if the electric
engine cooling fan is running. If the
engine is overheating, the fan should be
running. If it is not, your vehicle needs
service. Turn off the engine.
Caution
Engine damage from running the
engine without coolant is not
covered by the warranty.
Caution
Using coolant other than recom-
mended can cause premature engine,
heater core, or radiator corrosion.
Any repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.

ENGINE COOLANT

What to use
Your vehicle cooling system is filled
with ethylene glycol based long life
coolant.
In the correct mixture, this coolant
provides the cooling and heating system
with excellent protection against corrosion
and freezing.
When the engine is cool, the coolant
level should be between the MIN and
MAX mark on the coolant reservoir.
The level of coolant rises as the engine
warms and drops back as the engine
cools.
