Vehicle Care 10-15
Notice: Engine damage from
running the engine without
coolant is not covered by the
warranty.
Notice: Using coolant other than
DEX-COOL
®
can cause premature
engine, heater core, or radiator
corrosion. In addition, the
engine coolant could require
changing sooner, at 50 000 km
(30,000 miles) or 24 months,
whichever occurs first.
Any repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always use DEX-COOL
®
(silicate-free) coolant in the
vehicle.
Engine Coolant
The cooling system in your vehicle
is filled with DEX-COOL
®
engine
coolant. This coolant is designed to
remain in your vehicle for five years
or 240 000 km (150,000 miles),
whichever occurs first, if you add
only DEX-COOL
®
extended life
coolant.
The following explains your cooling
system and how to add coolant
when it is low. If you have a problem
with engine overheating, see Engine
Overheating on page 10‑20.
A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable
water and DEX-COOL
®
coolant will:
.
Give freezing protection down
to −37°C (−34°F).
.
Give boiling protection up to
129°C (265°F).
.
Protect against rust and
corrosion.
.
Help keep the proper engine
temperature.
.
Let the warning lights and gages
work as they should.
Notice: Using coolant other than
DEX‐COOL
®
can cause premature
engine, heater core, or radiator
corrosion. In addition, the engine
coolant may require changing
sooner, at the first maintenance
service after each 30,000 miles
(50 000 km) or 24 months,
whichever occurs first. Any
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Always use
DEX‐COOL
®
(silicate‐free) coolant
in the vehicle.
