Coolant

Checking the Coolant

Check the coolant level in the reserve tank while the engine is cold.

  • Place your vehicle on a firm, level surface.
  • Hold your vehicle in an upright position.
  • Check that the coolant level is between the UPPER level and LOWER level marks on the reserve tank.
  • UPPER level

    Reserve tank

    LOWER level

    If the coolant level is dropping noticeably or the reserve tank is empty, you likely have a serious leak. Have your vehicle inspected by your dealer.
