7. Verify coolant level after the engine isshut off and the coolant is cold.
If necessary, repeat coolant fill procedure
Steps 3−7.
If the coolant still is not at the proper
level when the system cools down again,
see your dealer.
Caution
If the pressure cap is not tightly installed,
coolant loss and engine damage may
occur. Be sure the cap is properly and
tightly secured.
Cooling System (Electrified
Propulsion)
The E-Ray is equipped with Electrified
Propulsion and cooling systems for the
Traction Power Inverter Module (TPIM) and
the High Voltage Battery located in the
Engine Compartment, see Engine
Compartment Overview 0238. The TPIM and
the high voltage battery cooling system
reservoirs have tamper- resistant pressure
caps. The coolant should only be serviced by
a qualified technician.
Power Electronic/Traction Power Inverter
Module (TPIM) Cooling System
The Power Electronic Cooling System
reservoir is located in under the front hood.
Rechargeable Energy Storage System
(RESS)/High Voltage Battery Cooling
System
The High Voltage Battery Cooling System
reservoir is located in the rear hatch.
What to Use
{Warning
Plain water, or other liquids such as
alcohol, can boil before the proper
coolant mixture will. With plain water or
the wrong mixture, the engine could get
too hot but there would not be an
overheat warning. The engine could catch
fire and you or others could be burned.
For vehicles equipped with Electrified
Propulsion (E-Ray), if ambient temperatures
are anticipated below −25 °C (−13 °F) for the
high voltage coolant systems, make sure to
use premix 50/50 DEX-COOL and de-ionized
water. Never dispose of engine coolant by
putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, or into sewers, streams, or bodies of
water. Have the coolant changed by an
authorized service center, familiar with legal
requirements regarding used coolant
disposal. This will help protect the
environment and your health.
Caution
Do not use anything other than a mix of
DEX-COOL coolant that meets GM
Standard GMW3420 and clean, drinkable
water. Anything else can cause damage
to the engine cooling system and the
vehicle, which would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Never dispose of engine coolant by putting
it in the trash, pouring it on the ground,
or into sewers, streams, or bodies of water.
Have the coolant changed by an authorized
service center, familiar with legal
requirements regarding used coolant
disposal. This will help protect the
environment and your health.
Checking Coolant
It is not necessary to regularly check coolant
unless a leak is suspected, or an unusual
noise is heard. A coolant loss could indicate
a problem. Have it inspected and repaired

316 Service and Maintenance
Because of the way people use vehicles,
maintenance needs vary. There may need to
be more frequent checks and services. The
Additional Required Services - Normal are for
vehicles that:
.Carry passengers and cargo within
recommended limits on the Tire and
Loading Information label. SeeVehicle
Load Limits 0174.
.Are driven on reasonable road surfaces
within legal driving limits.
.Use the recommended fuel. See
Recommended Fuel 0227.
Refer to the information in the Maintenance
Schedule Additional Required Services -
Normal chart.
The Additional Required Services - Severe are
for vehicles that are:
.Mainly driven in heavy city traffic in hot
weather.
.Mainly driven in hilly or mountainous
terrain.
.Used for high speed or competitive
driving.
.Used for taxi, police, or delivery service.
Refer to the information in the Maintenance
Schedule Additional Required Services -
Severe chart.
{Warning
Performing maintenance work can be
dangerous and can cause serious injury.
Perform maintenance work only if the
required information, proper tools, and
equipment are available. If they are not,
see your dealer to have a trained
technician do the work. See Doing Your
Own Service Work 0234.
Maintenance Schedule
Tire Rotation and Required Services
Every 12 000 km (7,500 mi)
Tires are rotated to achieve a more uniform
wear for all tires. The first rotation is the
most important.
Anytime unusual wear is noticed, rotate the
tires as soon as possible, check for proper
tire inflation pressure, and check for
damaged tires or wheels. If the unusual
wear continues after the rotation, check the
wheel alignment. See When It Is Time for
New Tires 0293 and
Wheel Replacement 0297.
.Perform Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection.
See Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection (MPVI)
0 318.
.Lubricate body components. See Exterior
Care 0306.
Additional Required Services –Normal
Service
Every 12 000 km (7,500 mi)
.Check engine oil level and oil
life percentage. If needed, change engine
oil and filter, and reset oil life system. Or
when the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message displays, have the engine oil and
filter changed within the next 1 000 km
(600 mi). If driven under the best
conditions, the engine oil life system may
not indicate the need for vehicle service
for up to a year. The engine oil and filter
must be changed at least once a year and
the oil life system must be reset. Your
trained dealer technician can perform this
work. If the engine oil life system is reset
accidentally, service the vehicle within
5 000 km (3,000 mi) since the last service.
Reset the oil life system when the oil is
changed. See Engine Oil Life System
0 252.

Service and Maintenance 317
.When the REPLACE AT NEXT OIL CHANGE
message displays, the engine air filter
should be replaced at the next engine oil
change. When the REPLACE ENGINE AIR
FILTER SOON message displays, the
engine air filter should be replaced at the
earliest convenience. Reset the engine air
filter life system after the engine air filter
is replaced. SeeEngine Air Filter Life
System 0254.
.The initial transmission external canister
filter change must be performed at
12 000 km (7,500 mi). This service can be
complex. See your dealer.
Caution
The transmission external canister filter
must be changed at 12 000 km
(7,500 mile) during the break-in period.
Failure to replace the external canister
filter can cause damage to the
transmission and potentially void any
warranty.
Every 36 000 km (22,500 mi)
.Replace the passenger compartment air
filter. Or every 24 months, whichever
comes first. More frequent passenger
compartment air filter replacement may be needed if driving in areas with heavy
traffic, poor air quality, high dust levels,
or environmental allergens. Passenger
compartment air filter replacement may
also be needed if there is reduced airflow,
window fogging, or odors. Your GM
dealer can help determine when to
replace the filter.
.Change the dual clutch transmission
external canister filter. Check the
transmission fluid life percentage.
If the percentage is less than 10%, replace
the fluid and external canister filter.
Change the external canister filter every
36 000 km (22,500 mi) thereafter. This
service can be complex. See your dealer.
Every 72 000 km (45,000 mi)
.Change the transmission fluid and
external canister filter. Change the
external canister filter every 36 000 km
(22,500 mi) thereafter. This service can be
complex. See your dealer.
Or when the CHANGE TRANSMISSION
FLUID SOON message displays, change the
fluid and external canister filter within
the next 1 000 km (620 mi). Failure to
change the transmission fluid at required
intervals can lead to reduced transmission
performance. The transmission fluid must be changed at least every three years and
the Fluid Life System must be reset. Your
dealer has trained service technicians who
will change the fluid and reset the
system. If the system is ever reset
accidentally, the fluid must be changed at
72 000 km (45,000 mi) since the last fluid
change. See
Dual Clutch Transmission
Fluid Life System 0253.
Every 156 000 km (97,500 mi)
.Replace spark plugs. Inspect spark plug
wires and/or boots.
Every 161 000 km (100,000 mi)
.Replace hood and/or body lift support gas
struts. Or every 10 years, whichever
comes first. See Gas Strut(s)0270.
Every 240 000 km (150,000 mi)
.Drain and fill engine cooling system. Or
every six years, whichever comes first.
See Cooling System (Engine) 0257 or
Cooling System (Electrified Propulsion)
0 260.
.Drain and fill power electronic cooling
system and rechargeable energy storage
system coolant (E-Ray). Or every five
years, whichever comes first.
