coolant to provide protection against freezing and
corrosion and to bring the level to F in the coolant

system inspection.Changing CoolantChange coolant according to the Scheduled

 DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol coolant and do
not mix them with the specified coolant.

60% antifreeze or less than 35% antifreeze, which
