Caution: When adding coolant, use DEX-COOL® coolant. If silicated coolant is added to the system, premature engine, heater core or radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the engine coolant will require change sooner-at 50 000 km (30,000 mi) or 24 months.

Caution: Use care when handling the coolant sensor. Damage to the coolant sensor will affect the operation of the fuel control system.
