Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
gency warning device behind the
vehicle (if available).
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because
it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-
ing system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be sure
to replace or replenish your coolant
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in section 7. Before winter,
have your coolant tested to assure
that its freezing point is sufficient for
the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
Always place the vehicle in P (Park),
apply the parking brake and turn off
the engine before installing tire
chains.
