Engine Coolant

~1min read

The high-pressure cooling system includes a reservoir filled with all-season antifreeze coolant. This reservoir is filled at the factory.

Check the coolant level at least once a year (at the beginning of winter) and before driving to a region with a cold climate.

WARNING

  • If the engine has overheated due to a coolant level that is too low, adding coolant suddenly may cause it to crack. To avoid damage, add coolant slowly in small amounts.
  • Do not drive without coolant. This may damage the water pump, cause engine seizure, etc.
