The pressurized cooling system has a reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is filled at the factory.

Check the freeze protection and coolant concentration at least once a year, at the beginning of the winter season, and before traveling to a colder climate.

When the engine overheats due to low engine coolant level, adding engine coolant suddenly may cause cracks in the engine. To prevent damage, slowly add engine coolant in small amounts.

CAUTION

Do not drive without engine coolant. This may cause water pump failure and engine seizure, etc.
