service attendant of this. As long as the engine operating

temperature is satisfactory, the coolant bottle need only

be checked once a month.

When additional coolant is needed to maintain the

proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle. Do

not overfill.

Points to Remember

NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles (a

few kilometers) of operation, you may observe vapor

coming from the front of the engine compartment. This is

normally a result of moisture from rain, snow, or high

humidity accumulating on the radiator and being vapor-

ized when the thermostat opens, allowing hot coolant to

enter the radiator.

If an examination of your engine compartment shows no

evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be

safely driven. The vapor will soon dissipate.

•

Do not overfill the coolant recovery bottle.

•

Check coolant freeze point in the coolant bottle. If

antifreeze needs to be added, contents of the coolant

bottle also must be protected against freezing.

•

If frequent coolant additions are required, or if the

level in thecoolant recovery bottle doesnot drop when

the engine cools, the cooling system should be pres-

sure tested for leaks.

•

Maintain coolant concentration at 50% HOAT engine

coolant (minimum) and distilled water for proper

corrosion protection of your engine, which contains

aluminum components.

•

Make sure that the radiator and coolant recovery

bottle overflow hoses are not kinked or obstructed.

•

Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is

equipped with air conditioning, keep the front of the

condenser clean, also.
