Coolant refill capacity
To find out how much fluid your vehicle’s cooling
system can hold, refer to Refill capa cities in the
Capa cities and specifica tion s chapter.
Have your dealer check the engine cooling system
for leaks if you have to add more than a liter (quart)
of engine coolant per month.
Severe winter climate
If you drive in extremely cold climates [less than
–36°C
(–34°F)], it may be necessary to increase the
coolant concentration above 50%. Refer to the chart
on the coolant container to ensure the coolant
concentration in your vehicle is such that the coolant
will not freeze at the temperature level in which you
drive during winter months. Never increase the
engine coolant concentration above 60%. Leave a
50/50
mixture of engine coolant and water in your
vehicle year-round in non-extreme climates.
