How to Check and Add FluidVisually check the clutch fluid reservoir to make sure thefluid level is at the MIN (Minimum) line on the side of thereservoir. The hydraulic clutch fluid system should bekept closed and sealed. Do not remove the cap to checkthe fluid level or to top-off the fluid level. Remove the caponly when necessary to add the proper fluid until the levelreaches the MIN line.Engine CoolantThe cooling system in your vehicle is filled withDEX-COOL ® engine coolant. This coolant is designedto remain in your vehicle for five years or 150,000 miles(240 000 km), whichever occurs first, if you add onlyDEX-COOL ® extended life coolant.The following explains the cooling system and how toadd coolant when it is low. If the engine overheats, seeEngine Overheating on page 5-31.A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water andDEX-COOL ® coolant will:• Give freezing protection down to −34°F (−37°C).• Give boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C).• Protect against rust and corrosion.• Help keep the proper engine temperature.• Allow the warning lights and gages to work as theyshould.Notice: Using coolant other than DEX-COOL® cancause premature engine, heater core, or radiatorcorrosion. In addition, the engine coolant mayrequire changing sooner, at the first maintenanceservice after each 30,000 miles (50 000 km) or24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs wouldnot be covered by the vehicle warranty. Always useDEX-COOL ® (silicate-free) coolant in the vehicle.5-28
