rules for your community. To prevent ingestion by ani-

mals or children, do not store ethylene glycol-based

engine coolant (antifreeze) in open containers or allow it

to remain inpuddles on theground.If ingested bya child

or pet, seek emergency assistance immediately. Clean up

any ground spills immediately.

Coolant Level

The coolant bottle provides a quick visual method for

determining that the engine coolant (antifreeze) level is

adequate. With the engine OFF and cold, the level of the

engine coolant (antifreeze) in the bottle should be be-

tween the ranges indicated on the bottle.

The radiator normally remains completely full, so there is

no need to remove the radiator cap unless checking for

engine coolant (antifreeze) freeze point or replacing en-

gine coolant (antifreeze). Advise your 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 engine coolant (antifreeze) 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

(kilometers) of operation,you mayobserve vapor coming

from the front of the engine compartment. This is nor-

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

humidity accumulating on the radiator and being vapor-

ized when the thermostat opens, allowing hot engine

coolant (antifreeze) 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.
