9-20 Vehicle Care How to Add Coolant to the Coolant Recovery Bottle Checking Coolant The vehicle must be on a level surface when checking the coolant level. Check coolant as follows: 1. Turn the ignition OFF. 2. Locate the coolant recovery bottle. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 9-6. { WARNING You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol and it will burn if the engine parts are hot enough. Do not spill coolant on a hot engine. 4. There are maximum and minimum markings on the dipstick. When the engine is cold, the coolant level should be at or above the MIN mark on the dipstick. After the vehicle has been driven and the engine is at normal operating temperature, the level should be somewhere between half full and the maximum mark. 5. If the coolant level is correct, replace the dipstick and turn the cap clockwise to secure. Notice: This vehicle has a specific coolant fill procedure. Failure to follow this procedure could cause the engine to overheat and be severely damaged. Notice: If an improper coolant mixture is used, the engine could overheat and be badly damaged. The repair cost would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Too much water in the mixture can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core, and other parts. 3.
