Inspect the antifreeze protection and

coolant level in the coolant reservoir at

least once a year―at the beginning of the

winter season―and before traveling

where temperatures may drop below

freezing.

Inspect the condition and connections of

all cooling system and heater hoses.

Replace any that are swollen or

deteriorated.

The coolant should be at full in the

radiator and between the FULL and LOW

marks on the coolant reservoir when the

engine is cool.

If it's at or near LOW, add enough coolant

to the coolant reservoir to provide

freezing and corrosion protection and to

bring the level to FULL.

CAUTION

Ø Radiator coolant will damage

paint.

Rinse it off quickly if spilled.

Ø Use only soft (demineralized)

water in the coolant mixture.

Water that contains minerals will

cut down on the coolant's

effectiveness.

Ø Don't add only water. Always add

a proper coolant mixture.

Ø The engine has aluminum parts

and must be protected by an

ethylene-glycol-based coolant to

prevent corrosion and freezing.

Ø DO NOT USE coolants Containing

Alcohol, methanol, Borate or

Silicate.

These coolants could damag e the

cooling system.

Ø DO NOT MIX alcohol or methanol

with the coolant. This could

damage the cooling system.

Ø Don't use a solution that contains

more than 60% antifreeze.

This would reduce effectiveness.
