{Warning
Overfilling the fuel tank by more
than three clicks of a standard fill
nozzle may cause:
.Vehicle performance issues,including engine stalling anddamage to the fuel system.
.Fuel spills.
.Potential fuel fires.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Wait afew seconds after you have finishedpumping before removing thenozzle. Clean fuel from paintedsurfaces as soon as possible. SeeExterior Care0338.
When replacing the fuel cap, turn itclockwise until it clicks. Make surethe cap is fully installed. Thediagnostic system can determine ifthe fuel cap has been left off or
improperly installed. This wouldallow fuel to evaporate into theatmosphere. SeeMalfunctionIndicator Lamp (Check EngineLight)0100.
{Warning
If a fire starts while you are
refueling, do not remove the
nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by
notifying the station attendant.
Leave the area immediately.
Caution
If a new fuel cap is needed, be
sure to get the right type of cap
from your dealer. The wrong type
of fuel cap may not fit properly,
may cause the malfunction
indicator lamp to light, and could
damage the fuel tank and
emissions system. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(Check Engine Light)0100.
Filling a Portable Fuel
Container
{Warning
Filling a portable fuel container
while it is in the vehicle can cause
fuel vapors that can ignite either
by static electricity or other
means. You or others could be
badly burned and the vehicle
could be damaged. Always:
.Use approved fuelcontainers.

Caution
If improper coolant mixture,
inhibitors, or additives are used in
the vehicle cooling system, the
engine could overheat and be
damaged. Too much water in the
mixture can freeze and crack
engine cooling parts. The repairs
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Use only the
proper mixture of engine coolant
for the cooling system. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants0358.
Never dispose of engine coolant byputting it in the trash, pouring it onthe ground, or pouring it intosewers, streams or bodies of water.Have the coolant changed by anauthorized service center, familiarwith legal requirements regardingused coolant disposal. This will helpprotect the environment and yourhealth.
Checking Coolant
The vehicle must be on a levelsurface when checking the coolantlevel.
To c h e c k c o o l a n t :
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Locate the coolant recoveryreservoir. SeeEngineCompartment Overview0274.
3. Turn the coolant recoveryreservoir dipstick capcounterclockwise and slowlypull out the dipstick. There aremaximum and minimummarkings on the dipstick.
4. When the engine is cold, thecoolant level should be at orabove the minimum mark (1).After the vehicle has beendriven and the engine is atnormal operating temperature,the level should be somewherebetween half full and themaximum mark (2).
5. If the coolant level is correct,replace the coolant recoveryreservoir dipstick cap and turnclockwise to secure.

1. Locate the radiator cap. SeeEngine Compartment Overview0274.
2. Cover the radiator cap with athick cloth and turn it slowlycounterclockwise and remove.
3. If there is no coolant visible orthe level is low, slowly fill thesystem through the radiatorcap opening with a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkablewater and DEX-COOL coolantuntil full.
Wait 30 seconds for thecoolant to settle and top off ifthe level drops.
Do not spill coolant on theaccessory drive belts.
If a spill occurs, rinse the beltwith fresh water.
4. Start the engine.
5. With the engine idling, top offthe coolant through the radiatorcap opening until full.
Wait 30 seconds for thecoolant to settle and top off ifthe level drops.
6. Once the system is full, put theradiator cap back on by turningclockwise.
7. Turn the engine off.
8. Check the coolant level in theengine coolant recoveryreservoir and fill it until thelevel is at the top mark on thedipstick cap. Filling to this levelprovides additional coolant toallow for any air that may beleft in the cooling system.
Caution
If the pressure cap is not tightly
installed, coolant loss and
possible engine damage may
occur. Be sure the cap is properly
and tightly secured.
