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 ADD mark, add a 50/50 mixture of clean
water (preferably distilled) and DEX-COOL
(silicate-free) antifreeze at the coolant recovery tank.
(See “Engine Coolant’’ in the Index for more
information.)

I NOTICE:
In cold weather, water can freeze and crack the
engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
Use the recommended coolant and the proper
coolant mix.
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 mixwill. 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
waterand DEX-COOL coolant.
