AKENG44_Escalade Page 306 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Service and Maintenance Engine Coolant CAUTION If your engine overheats, see "Engine Overheating" in Section 5. Continued operation of the overheated engine, even for a short time, may result in a fire and the possibility of personal injury and/or severe vehicle damage. CAUTION The cooling system in your vehicle is pressurized. Only add coolant when the cooling system or coolant is cold. The cooling system in your vehicle is designed to use a coolant (a mixture of ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors and water) rather than plain water. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean water and DEX-COOL ® coolant. If you use this mixture, you don't need to add anything else. CAUTION Adding only plain water or a liquid other than the recommended coolant can be dangerous. The engine could overheat, but you would not get the overheat warning. The engine could catch on fire and you or others could be burned. NOTICE If there is too much water in the coolant mixture, the liquid could freeze and crack the engine and other vehicle parts. . . . 306
AKENG44_Escalade Page 307 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 4 NOTICE NOTICE CAUTION Do not substitute any liquids for the proper coolant mixture. Otherwise, premature corrosion may result and the engine coolant will require change sooner. Damage caused by the use of any coolant that is not recommended is not covered by your new vehicle warranty. If you use the proper coolant, you do not need any extra additives or inhibitors. These can be harmful to your vehicle. Use only the recommended fluid. See "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" later in this section. An electric cooling fan can start even if the engine is not running. Be careful around any underhood electric fan. Check the coolant level at regular intervals, such as when refueling. The coolant level can be checked by looking at the see-through surge tank without having to remove the cap. – – The vehicle must be on a level surface. – – 307 . . .
