Maintenance and Specifications Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water for optimum cooling system and engine protection. What you should know about fail-safe cooling If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to be driven temporarily before incremental component damage is incurred. The "fail-safe" distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load and terrain. How fail-safe cooling works • Standard cluster H TEMP C • Optional cluster H N O R M C If the engine begins to overheat: • The engine coolant temperature gauge will move to the H (hot) area (if your vehicle is equipped with analog gauges). • The engine coolant temperature gauge will illuminate all eight bars and a tone will sound every five seconds for one minute (if your vehicle is equipped with digital gauges). • The symbol will illuminate. • The Check Engine indicator light will illuminate. 204
