• Mix a minimum solution of 50% OAT coolant that meets
the requirements of FCA Material Standard MS.90032
and deionized, or distilled water. Use higher concentra-
tions (not to exceed 70%) if temperatures below −34°F
(−37°C) are anticipated.
CAUTION!
Use only high purity water such as deionized, or
distilled water when mixing the water/ coolant (anti-
freeze) solution for the engine, battery or high voltage
electronics cooling systems. The use of lower quality
water will reduce the amount of corrosion protection in
the engine cooling system.
Please note that it is the owner’s responsibility to maintain
the proper level of protection against freezing according to
the temperatures occurring in the area where the vehicle is
operated.
NOTE:
• Mixing coolant (antifreeze) types is not recommended
and can result in cooling system damage. If HOAT and
OAT coolant are mixed in an emergency, have a autho-
rized dealer drain, flush, and refill with OAT coolant
(conforming to MS.90032) as soon as possible.
• Low pressure expansion bottles for power electronics
and battery cooling require a special tool for removing
the cap from the expansion bottle. For the battery
coolant bottle, it is important to not add coolant if level
is low. The vehicle should be taken to dealer for proper
servicing of the battery coolant loop if this should occur.
Cooling System Pressure Cap
The cap must be fully tightened to prevent loss of engine
coolant (antifreeze), and to ensure that engine coolant
(antifreeze) will return to the radiator from the coolant
expansion bottle/recovery tank if so equipped.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any
accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces.
