Anti-freeze CoolantMixtureRatio
The engine cooling systemisfilled atthe factory withahigh-
quality, year-round, anti-freezecoolantsolution. Theanti-freeze
solution contains rustandcorrosion inhibitors. Therefore, addi-
tional cooling systemadditives arenotnecessary.
CAUTION:
When adding orreplacing coolant,besure touse only aneth-
ylene glycol anti-freeze withtheproper mixture ratio.Seethe
