NOTE:State or local regulations on volatile organic compounds may

restrict the use of methanol, a common windshield washer antifreeze

additive. Washer fluids containing non-methanol antifreeze agents should

be used only if they provide cold weather protection without damaging

the vehicle’s paint finish, wiper blades or washer system.

WARNING: Do not put washer fluid in the engine coolant

reservoir. Washer fluid placed in the cooling system may harm

engine and cooling system components.

Checking and adding washer fluid for the liftgate

Washer fluid for the liftgate is supplied by the same reservoir as the

windshield.

ENGINE COOLANT

Checking engine coolant

The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the

mileage intervals listed in the service maintenance section. The coolant

concentration should be maintained at 50/50 coolant and water, which

equates to a freeze point of -36° C (-34° F). Coolant concentration

testing is possible with a hydrometer or antifreeze tester (such as the

Rotunda Battery and Antifreeze Tester, 014–R1060). The level of coolant

should be maintained at the “cold full” of “cold fill range” level in the

coolant reservoir. If the level falls below, add coolant per the instructions

in the Adding Engine Coolantsection.

Your vehicle was factory-filled with a 50/50 engine coolant and water

concentration. If the concentration of coolant falls below 40% or above

60%, the engine parts could become damaged or not work properly. A

50–50 mixture of coolant and water provides the following:

• freeze protection down to -36° C (-34° F).

• boiling protection up to 129° C (265° F).

• protection against rust and other forms of corrosion.

• an accurate temperature readout from the engine coolant

gauge.
