CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads hot, pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air condi-
tioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer
remains on hot, turn the engine off immediately and call for service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not
open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
TIREFIT KIT
• Your vehicle may be equipped with a TIREFIT kit. The TIREFIT kit is located under
the front driver’s seat.
• Small punctures up to 1/4 in (6 mm) in the tire tread can be sealed with TIREFIT.
Foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails) should not be removed from the tire.
TIREFIT can be used in outside temperatures down to approximately -4°F
(-20°C).
• This kit will provide a temporary tire seal, allowing you to drive your vehicle up to
100 miles (160 km) with a maximum speed of 55 mph (88 km/h).

CAUTION!
• Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive
Technology (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage
and may decrease corrosion protection. Organic Additive Technology (OAT)
engine coolant is different and should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Ad-
ditive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze) or any “globally com-
patible” coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) is intro-
duced into the cooling system in an emergency, the cooling system will need
to be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming to
MS-12106), by an authorized studio as soon as possible.
•Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) products.
Do not use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be
compatible with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.
• This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based en-
gine coolant (antifreeze). Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (anti-
freeze) is not recommended.
