94 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Disposal of Used TPIM Coolant Used ethylene glycol based TPIM coolant (antifreeze) is a regulated substance requiring proper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community. To prevent ingestion by animals or children, do not store ethylene glycol based TPIM coolant (antifreeze) in open containers or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground. If ingested by a child, contact a physician immediately. Clean up any ground spills immediately. TPIM Coolant Level The TPIM coolant bottle provides a quick visual method for determining that the coolant (antifreeze) level is adequate. With the engine cold, the level of the coolant (antifreeze) in the coolant recovery bottle should be between the ranges indicated on the bottle. When additional coolant (antifreeze) is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle. Do not overfill. Points to Remember If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of TPIM cooler or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven. • Do not overfill the coolant recovery bottle. • Check coolant (antifreeze) freeze point in the coolant recovery bottle. If coolant (antifreeze) needs to be added, contents of coolant recovery bottle must also be protected against freezing. • If frequent coolant (antifreeze) additions are required, or if the level in the coolant recovery bottle does not drop when the engine cools, the cooling system should be pressure tested for leaks.
