282 Vehicle Care
Caution
If improper coolant mixture,
inhibitors, or additives are used in
the vehicle cooling system, the
engine could overheat and be
damaged. Too much water in the
mixture can freeze and crack
engine cooling parts. The repairs
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Use only the
proper mixture of engine coolant
for the cooling system. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants0358.
Never dispose of engine coolant byputting it in the trash, pouring it onthe ground, or pouring it intosewers, streams or bodies of water.Have the coolant changed by anauthorized service center, familiarwith legal requirements regardingused coolant disposal. This will helpprotect the environment and yourhealth.
Checking Coolant
The vehicle must be on a levelsurface when checking the coolantlevel.
To c h e c k c o o l a n t :
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Locate the coolant recoveryreservoir. SeeEngineCompartment Overview0274.
3. Turn the coolant recoveryreservoir dipstick capcounterclockwise and slowlypull out the dipstick. There aremaximum and minimummarkings on the dipstick.
4. When the engine is cold, thecoolant level should be at orabove the minimum mark (1).After the vehicle has beendriven and the engine is atnormal operating temperature,the level should be somewherebetween half full and themaximum mark (2).
5. If the coolant level is correct,replace the coolant recoveryreservoir dipstick cap and turnclockwise to secure.

312 Vehicle Care
of reasons, including the installationof replacement or alternate tires orwheels on the vehicle that preventthe TPMS from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunctiontelltale after replacing one or moretires or wheels on your vehicle toensure that the replacement oralternate tires and wheels allow theTPMS to continue to functionproperly.
SeeTire Pressure MonitorOperation0312.
SeeRadio Frequency Statement0374.
Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation
This vehicle may have a TirePressure Monitor System (TPMS).The TPMS is designed to warn thedriver when a low tire pressurecondition exists. TPMS sensors aremounted onto each tire and wheelassembly, including the spare tireand wheel assembly. The TPMSsensors monitor the air pressure in
the tires and transmit the tirepressure readings to a receiverlocated in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressure conditionis detected, the TPMS illuminatesthe low tire pressure warning lightlocated on the instrument cluster.If the warning light comes on, stopas soon as possible and inflate thetires to the recommended pressureshown on the Tire and LoadingInformation label. SeeVehicle LoadLimits0226.
AmessagetocheckthepressureinaspecifictiremaydisplayintheDriver Information Center (DIC). Thelow tire pressure warning light andthe DIC warning message,if equipped, come on at eachignition cycle until the tires areinflated to the correct inflationpressure. Using the DIC, it may bepossible to view the tire pressure
levels. For additional informationand details about the DIC operationand displays, seeDriver InformationCenter (DIC)0108.
The low tire pressure warning lightmay come on in cool weather whenthe vehicle is first started, and thenturn off as the vehicle is driven. Thiscould be an early indicator that theair pressure is getting low andneeds to be inflated to the properpressure.
ATire and Loading Information labelshows the size of the originalequipment tires and the correctinflation pressure for the tires whenthey are cold. SeeVehicle LoadLimits0226,foranexampleoftheTire and Loading Information labeland its location. Also seeTirePressure0309.
The TPMS can warn about a lowtire pressure condition, but it doesnot replace normal tiremaintenance. SeeTire Inspection0315,Tire Rotation0315,andTires0303.
