Coolant: Testing and Inspection

ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL CHECK

Check the engine coolant level at the reserve tank, not at the radiator. With the engine cool, the engine coolant level should be between the "FULL" and "LOW" marks.

ADDING ENGINE COOLANT

If the engine coolant level is below the "LOW" mark, more engine coolant should be added. Remove the reserve tank cap and add engine coolant until the reserve tank level reaches the "FULL" mark. Never fill the reserve tank about the "FULL" mark.

WARNING:
- WHEN ADDING OR REPLACING ENGINE COOLANT, USE A HIGH QUALITY ETHYLENE GLYCOL ANTI-FREEZE DILUTED WITH DISTILLED WATER. THE MIXTURE YOU USE SHOULD CONTAIN AT LEAST A 50% CONCENTRATION OF ANTI-FREEZE. IF A 50% CONCENTRATION DOES NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION AGAINST FREEZING, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE ANTI-FREEZE CONTAINER TO OBTAIN THE DESIRED FREEZING POINT.
- WHEN PUTTING THE CAP ON THE RESERVE TANK, LINE UP THE ARROW ON THE CAP AND THE ARROW ON THE TANK OR COOLANT CAN LEAK OUT.
- ENGINE COOLANT IS HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. DO NOT DRINK ANTIFREEZE OR COOLANT SOLUTION. IF SWALLOWED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.. IMMEDIATELY CONTACT A POISON CONTROL CENTER OR A PHYSICIAN. AVOID INHALING MIST OR HOT VAPORS; IF INHALED, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF COOLANT GETS IN EYES, FLUSH EYES WITH WATER AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. SOLUTION CAN BE POISONOUS TO ANIMALS, KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN AND ANIMALS.
