IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WARNING

Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control,

accident or rollover, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and

understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owner’s

manual.

VEHICLE BREAK-IN PERIOD

The break-in period for your new vehicle is the first 25 hours of operation, or the

time it takes to use the first 2 full tanks of gasoline. No single action on your part

is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine

will result in more efficient performance and longer life for the engine. Perform

the following procedures carefully.

NOTICE

Excessive heat build-up during the first 3 hours of operation will damage close-

fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not operate at full throttle or high

speeds during the first 3 hours of use.

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN BREAK-IN

1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Always exercise extreme caution whenever

handling gasoline.

2. Check the oil level. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil

level in the safe operating range.

3. Complete the New Operator Driving Procedures.

4. Avoid aggressive use of the brakes.

5. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.

6. Pull only light loads.

7. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the

daily pre-ride inspection checklist.

8. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours or

one month.

9. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25 hours of

operation and every 100 hours thereafter.

OPERATION

BRAKE SYSTEM BREAK-IN

Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly

forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and

rotors.

PVT BREAK-IN (CLUTCHES/BELT)

A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and

better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower

speeds during the break-in period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid

aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period.

If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the PVT intake and outlet duct and

from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt.

OPERATION

HAULING CARGO

WARNING

Overloading the vehicle or carrying or towing cargo improperly can alter

vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability. Always

follow these precautions when hauling cargo:

Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle.

REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING

WHEN HAULING CARGO.

NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY of the vehicle. When

determining the weight you are adding to the vehicle, include the weight of the

operator, passenger, accessories, loads in the rack or box and the load on the

trailer tongue. The combined weight of these items must not exceed the

maximum weight capacity.

Always load the cargo box with the load as far forward and as low as possible.

When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain

stable driving conditions.

Always operate the vehicle with extreme care when hauling or towing loads.

Slow down and drive in the lowest gear available.

SECURE ALL LOADS BEFORE OPERATING. Unsecured loads can create

unstable operating conditions, which could result in loss of control of the

vehicle.

OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED LOADS. When

handling off-centered loads that cannot be centered, securely fasten the load

and operate with extra caution.

Always attach the tow load to the hitch point designated for your vehicle.

HEAVY LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS. Use

extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or

situations that may require backing downhill.

USE EXTREME CAUTION when operating with loads that extend over the

rack sides. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing

vehicle rollover.

DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS. Vehicle

should never exceed 10 MPH (16 km/h) while towing a load on a level grass

surface. Vehicle speed should never exceed 5 MPH (8 km/h) when towing

loads in rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or descending a hill.

If the vehicle is capable, never exceed 43 MPH (70 km/h) if total payload

exceeds 335 lbs. (152 kg).

Carrying a passenger in the cargo box could result in a fall from the vehicle or

contact with moving components. Never allow a passenger to ride in the cargo

box.

Your vehicle has been designed to carry or tow specific capacities. Reduce

speed and allow a greater distance for braking when carrying cargo.

OPERATION

Loads should be centered on the vehicle and carried as low as possible in the

box. For stability on rough or hilly terrain, reduce both speed and cargo.

Exercise caution if the cargo load extends over the side of the box.

Always read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on warning

labels and in this manual. Never exceed the maximum capacities specified for

your vehicle.

BELT LIFE

To extend belt life, use low gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo.

TOWING LOADS

WARNING

Towing improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or

brake instability.

Always follow these precautions when towing:

1. Never load more than 68 kg (150 lbs.) tongue weight on the towing bracket.

2. When towing a disabled vehicle, place the disabled vehicle’s transmission in

neutral. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 16 km/h (10 MPH) when

towing.

3. Towing a trailer increases braking distance. Do not operate the vehicle faster

than 16 km/h (10 MPH) when towing.

4. Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle.

5. Attach a trailer to the trailer hitch bracket only. Do not attach a trailer to any

other location, which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.

6. The total load (operator, accessories, cargo and weight on hitch) must not

exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.

wDifferential Lock (2WD)

eDifferential Unlock (TURF Mode)

Press the top of the driveline mode switch to engage All Wheel Drive (AWD).

The 4X4 indicator illuminates in the rider information center to indicate that the

vehicle is in AWD. When the AWD switch is on, the front gearcase will

automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear

wheels regain traction, the front gearcase will automatically disengage. There is

no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in AWD. Initially, the

vehicle's electronic system will not enable the AWD until the engine RPM is

below 3100. Once enabled, the AWD remains enabled until the switch is turned

off. If the switch is turned off while the front gearcase is moving, it will not

disengage until the rear wheels regain traction.

Engage the AWD before getting into conditions where front wheel drive may be

needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before switching to

AWD.

OPERATION

DISENGAGING AWD

Move the driveline mode switch to the center or bottom position to disengage

AWD. If the switch is turned off while the front hubs are driving, they will not

release until the rear wheels regain traction.

In some situations, the front gearcase may remain locked after turning the AWD

switch off. If this occurs, you may notice increased steering effort and some

vehicle speed restriction. Perform the following procedure to unlock the front

gearcase.

To disengage AWD, do the following:

1. Stop the vehicle.

2. Operate in reverse for at least 10 feet (3 m).

3. Stop completely.

4. Shift into low gear and drive forward.

5. If the front gearcase remains locked after following these instructions, see

your dealer or other qualified service person for service.

LOCKING THE DIFFERENTIAL

Move the switch to the center position to lock the differential and operate in two

wheel drive (2WD). Locking the differential in slippery or low traction conditions

helps improve traction. When the rear differential is locked, both rear wheels

rotate at the same speed.

UNLOCKING THE DIFFERENTIAL (TURF MODE)

When operating in TURF mode, the inside rear wheel will rotate independently

from the outside wheel during turns. Operate in TURF mode only as needed to

protect smooth, level surfaces from tire damage. DO NOT operate in TURF

mode when climbing or descending hills, when sidehilling, or when operating on

uneven, loose, or slippery terrain such as sand, gravel, ice, snow, obstacles, and

water crossings. Always operate in AWD on these types of terrain.

WARNING

Operating in TURF mode (if equipped) when on sloped, uneven, or loose

terrain could cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death. One

rear wheel may slip and lose traction or may lift up and grab when it touches

the ground again.

Press the bottom of the switch to unlock the differential and allow the rear drive

wheels to operate independently (1WD). When the rear differential is unlocked,

the rear wheels can rotate at different speeds. Unlock the differential to make

maneuvering easier and minimize damage to turf.

OPERATION

NOTICE

Damage to the differential can occur if it is engaged while the vehicle is

traveling at high speeds or while the rear wheels are spinning. Slow the vehicle

to nearly stopped before engaging the differential.

WARNING

Never operate in TURF mode (if equipped) while operating on a hill or other

irregular terrain. Always move the switch to AWD before ascending or

descending a hill.

OPERATION

WINCH GUIDE

WINCH SAFETY

These safety warnings and instructions apply if your vehicle came equipped with

a winch or if you choose to add an accessory winch to your vehicle.

WARNING

Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow

all winch instructions and warnings in this manual.

Your winch may have a cable made of either wire rope or specially designed

synthetic rope. The term “winch cable” will be used for either unless noted

otherwise.

WINCH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Read all sections of this manual.

2. Never use alcohol or drugs before or while operating the winch.

3. Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate the winch.

4. Always wear eye protection and heavy gloves when operating the winch.

5. Always keep body, hair, clothing and jewelry clear of the winch cable, fairlead

and hook when operating winch.

6. Never attempt to “jerk” a load attached to the winch with a moving vehicle.

See the section on page 89.Shock Loading

7. Always keep the area around the vehicle, winch, winch cable, and load clear

of people (especially children) and distractions while operating the winch.

8. Always turn the vehicle ignition power OFF when it and the winch are not

being used.

9. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are wrapped

around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided by this wrapped

cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable and move the load.

10. Always apply your vehicle’s park brake and/or park mechanism to hold the

vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.

11. Always align the vehicle and winch with the load directly in front of the

vehicle as much as possible. Avoid winching with the winch cable at an angle

to the winching vehicle’s centerline whenever possible.

WINCH GUIDE

12. If winching at an angle is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

a. Look at the winch drum occasionally. Never let the winch cable “stack” or

accumulate at one end of the winch drum. Too much winch cable at one

end of the winch drum can damage the winch and the winch cable.

b. If stacking occurs, stop winching. Follow step 15 of Winch Operation to

feed and rewind the cable evenly before continuing the winch operation.

13. Never winch up or down at sharp angles. This can destabilize the winching

vehicle and possibly cause it to move without warning.

14. Never attempt to winch loads that weigh more than the winch’s rated

capacity.

15. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more

than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation, stop winching and

permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.

16. Never touch, push, pull or straddle the winch cable while winching a load.

17. Never let the winch cable run through your hands, even if wearing heavy

gloves.

18. Never release the clutch on the winch when the winch cable is under load.

19. Never use the winch for lifting or transporting people.

20. Never use the winch to hoist or suspend a vertical load.

21. Always inspect your winch and winch cable before each use.

WINCH GUIDE

4. Always use the hook strap when handling the hook.

WARNING

Never put your fingers into the hook. This could lead to SEVERE INJURY.

• Attach the hook itself onto the load or use a tow strap or chain to secure

the load to the winch cable.

TIP

A “tow strap” is NOT intended to stretch. A “recovery strap” is designed to

stretch.

WINCH GUIDE

WARNING

Never use a recovery strap when winching due to the excessive energy that

can be released if the winch cable breaks. This can result in SEVERE INJURY

or DEATH. See the section on page 89.Shock Loading

• Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch

cable and may result in winch cable failure.

WARNING

Replace the winch cable at the first sign of damage to prevent SEVERE

INJURY or DEATH in the event of failure. For your safety, always replace

POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with genuine POLARIS

replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer, or other

qualified dealer.

• If possible, keep the winch cable aligned with the centerline of the

winching vehicle. This will help the spooling of the winch cable and reduce

the load on the fairlead.

• If freeing a stuck vehicle by attaching to a tree, use an item such as a tow

strap to avoid damaging the tree during winch operation. Sharp cables and

chains can damage and even kill trees. Please remember to Tread

Lightly® (treadlightly.org).

• Before operating the winch, be sure that the safety latch on the winch

cable hook is fully seated when the load is attached.

• Never operate your winch with a damaged hook or latch. Always replace

damaged parts before using the winch.

5. Never remove the hook strap from the hook.

6. Release the winch clutch and pull out the winch cable.

7. Pulling out as much cable as possible maximizes the winch’s pulling

capacity. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are

wrapped around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided by this

wrapped cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable and move the load.

WINCH GUIDE

8. Read and adhere to the following information for winch damping to ensure

safe winch use.

a. In order to absorb energy that could be released by a winch cable failure,

always place a “damper” on the winch cable. A damper can be heavy

jacket, tarp, or other soft, dense object. A damper can absorb much of the

energy released if a winch cable breaks when winching. Even a tree limb

can help as a damper if no other items are available to you.

b. Lay the damper on top of the mid-point of the winch cable length that is

spooled out.

c. On a long pull, it may be necessary to stop winching so that the damper

can be repositioned to the new mid-point of the winch cable. Always

release the tension on the winch cable before repositioning the damper.

d. Avoid being directly in line with the winch cable whenever possible. Also,

never permit others to stand near or in line with the winch cable during

winch operation.

9. Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch

cable and may result in winch cable failure.

10. Never use straps, chains or other rigging items that are damaged or worn.

11. The ONLY time a winch-equipped vehicle should be moving when using the

winch is when that vehicle itself is stuck. The winch equipped vehicle should

NEVER be in motion to “shock” load the winch cable in an attempt to move a

second stuck vehicle. See the Shock Loading section on page 89. For your

safety, always follow these guidelines when winching a vehicle free:

a. Release the winch clutch and spool out the necessary length of winch

cable.

b. Align the winch cable as close as possible to the winching vehicle’s

centerline.

c. Attach the winch cable hook to the anchor point or the stuck vehicle’s

frame following instructions in this manual.

d. Re-engage the clutch on the winch.

e. Slowly winch in the slack in the winch cable.

f. Select the proper vehicle gear to propel the stuck vehicle in the direction

of winching.

g. Shift to the lowest gear available on the stuck vehicle.

h. Slowly and carefully apply vehicle throttle and winch together to free the

vehicle.

i. Stop winching as soon as the stuck vehicle is able to propel itself without

the help of the winch.

WINCH GUIDE

j. Detach the winch cable hook.

k. Rewind the winch cable evenly back onto the winch drum following the

instructions in this manual.

12. Never attempt to winch another stuck vehicle by attaching the winch cable to

a suspension component, brush guard, bumper or cargo rack. Vehicle

damage may result. Instead, attach the winch to a strong portion of the

vehicle frame or hitch.

13. Extensive winching will run down the battery on the winching vehicle. Let the

winching vehicle’s engine run while operating the winch to prevent the

battery from running low if winching for long periods.

14. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more

than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation, stop winching and

permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.

15. After winching is complete, especially if winching at an angle, it may be

necessary to re-distribute the winch cable across the winch drum. You will

need an assistant to perform this task.

a. Release the clutch on the winch.

b. Feed out the winch cable that is unevenly bunched up in one area.

c. Re-engage the winch clutch.

d. Have an assistant pull the winch cable tightly with about 100 lbs. (45 kg)

of tension using the hook strap.

e. Slowly winch the cable in while your assistant moves the end of the winch

cable back and forth horizontally to evenly distribute the winch cable on

the drum.

f. Doing this reduces the chances of the winch cable “wedging” itself

between lower layers of winch cable.

WINCH GUIDE

SHOCK LOADING

WARNING

Your winch cable is very strong but it is NOT designed for dynamic, or “shock”

loading. Shock loading may tension a winch cable beyond its strength and

cause the cable to break. The end of a broken winch cable under such high

loading can cause SEVERE INJURY or DEATH to you and other bystanders.

Winch cables are designed to NOT absorb energy. This is true of both wire-rope

and synthetic-rope winch cables.

1. Never attempt to “jerk” a load with the winch. For example, never take up

slack in the winch cable by moving the winching vehicle in an attempt to

move an object. This is a dangerous practice. It generates high winch cable

loads that may exceed the strength of the cable. Even a slowly moving

vehicle can create large shock loads in a winch cable.

WARNING

SEVERE INJURY or DEATH can result from a broken winch cable.

2. Never quickly turn the winch ON and OFF repeatedly (“jogging”). This puts

extra load on the winch, winch cable, and generates excessive heat from the

motor. This is a form of shock loading.

3. Never tow a vehicle or other object with your winch. Towing an object with a

winch produces shock loading of the cable even when towing at slow

speeds. Towing from a winch also positions the towing force high on the

vehicle. This can cause instability of the vehicle and possibly lead to an

accident.

4. Never use recovery straps with your winch. Recovery straps are designed to

stretch and can store energy. This stored energy in the recovery strap is

released if a winch cable fails making the event even more hazardous.

Similarly, never use elastic “bungie” cords for winching.

5. Never use the winch to tie down a vehicle to a trailer or other transportation

vehicle. This type of use also causes shock loading that can cause damage

to the winch, winch cable, or vehicles used.

Your winch cable is designed and tested to withstand the loads produced

by the winch motor when operated from a stationary vehicle. Always

remember that the winch and winch cable are NOT designed for shock

WINCH GUIDE

WINCH MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE SAFETY

WARNING

Improper or lack of winch maintenance and service could lead to SEVERE

INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings in this

manual.

1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch

cable. Also inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware.

2. Permit your winch motor to cool down prior to servicing your winch.

3. Never work on your winch without first disconnecting the battery connections

to prevent accidental activation of the winch.

4. For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable)

with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized

POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person.

5. Some winch models use wire rope as the winch cable. Other winches use a

specially designed synthetic rope as the winch cable.

6. Never replace a synthetic-rope winch cable with a consumer-grade polymer

rope such as can be purchased in a hardware store. Although they may look

similar, they are NOT alike. A polymer rope not designed for winch use will

stretch and store excessive energy when winching.

WARNING

Failure of a stretched rope under winching conditions will release all of the

stored energy. This will increase the chances of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.

WINCH GUIDE

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

NOISE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

Do not modify the engine, intake or exhaust components, as doing so may affect

compliance with governmental noise level requirements.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace or repair the emission

control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized POLARIS dealer can

perform any service that may be necessary for your vehicle. POLARIS also

recommends POLARIS parts for emissions-related service, however equivalent

parts can be used.

It is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an aftermarket

parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle’s emission controls.

Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by federal law.

Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in

this owner’s manual.

Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, most

reliable condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of important

components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart.

Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When

inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, genuine POLARIS parts are

available from your POLARIS dealer. Equivalent parts may be used for

emissions-related service.

Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If you’re not

familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, a qualified dealer can

perform these operations.

Vehicles subjected to heavy or severe use patterns must be inspected and

serviced more frequently.

SEVERE USE DEFINITION

• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand

• Frequent or prolonged operation in dusty environments

• Short trip cold weather operation

• Racing or race-style high RPM use

• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation

• Extended idle

Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold weather can

indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or crankcase. Change oil

immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor the oil level, and if it continues

to rise, discontinue use and determine the cause. Your dealer can assist.

SPARK PLUG INSPECTION

Spark plug condition is indicative of engine operation. The spark plug firing end

condition should be read after the engine is warmed up and the vehicle is driven

at higher speeds. Immediately check the spark plug for correct color.

CAUTION

A hot exhaust system and engine can cause burns. Wear protective gloves

when removing a spark plug for inspection.

To inspect the spark plugs, do the following:

1. Lift the cargo box to access the spark plugs.

2. Remove the spark plug cap. Using the spark plug wrench provided in the tool

kit, remove the plug by rotating it counter-clockwise.

3. Reverse the procedure for spark plug installation.

4. Torque to specification.

NORMAL PLUG

The normal insulator tip is gray, tan or light brown. There will be few combustion

deposits. The electrodes are not burned or eroded. This indicates the proper

type and heat range for the engine and the service.

The tip should not be white. A white insulator tip indicates overheating, caused

by use of an improper spark plug or incorrect throttle body adjustments.

WET FOULED PLUG

The wet fouled insulator tip is black. A damp oil film covers the firing end. There

may be a carbon layer over the entire nose. Generally, the electrodes are not

worn. General causes of fouling are excessive oil, use of non-recommended oil

or poor fuel quality.

107

MAINTENANCE

COOLING SYSTEM

The engine coolant level is controlled or maintained by the recovery system. The

recovery system components are the overflow bottle, radiator filler neck, radiator

pressure cap and connecting hose.

As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated) excess

coolant is forced out of the radiator, past the pressure cap, and into the overflow

bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases, the contracting (cooled)

coolant is drawn back up from the tank, past the pressure cap, and into the

radiator.

Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the system is purging

itself of trapped air. Observe coolant levels and maintain as recommended by

adding coolant to the overflow bottle.

ADDING OR CHANGING COOLANT

POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Antifreeze 50/50 Premix. This

antifreeze is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water.

To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we

recommend that the system be completely drained every five (5) years and fresh

Antifreeze 50/50 Premix added.

Any time the cooling system has been drained for maintenance or repair,

replace the coolant with fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix. If the recovery bottle has

run dry, the level in the radiator should be inspected. Add coolant as needed.

RADIATOR AND COOLING FAN

Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals outlined in

the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Do not obstruct or deflect air flow through the

radiator by installing unauthorized accessories in front of the radiator or behind

the cooling fan. Interference with the radiator air flow can lead to overheating

and consequent engine damage.

NOTICE

Washing the vehicle with a high-pressure hose could damage the radiator fins

and impair the radiator's effectiveness. Using a high-pressure system is not

recommended.

1. Lift the hood.

CAUTION

Escaping steam can cause burns. Never remove the pressure cap while the

engine is warm or hot. Always allow the engine to cool before removing the

pressure cap.

2. Slowly remove the radiator cap q.

3. View the coolant level through the opening.

4. Use a funnel and slowly add coolant as needed.

TIP

This procedure is required only if the cooling system has been drained for

maintenance and/or repair. But if the overflow bottle has run dry, the level in

the radiator should also be inspected.

5. Reinstall the pressure cap. Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow

the recovery system to function properly. Your POLARIS dealer can provide

the correct replacement part.

109

MAINTENANCE

OVERFLOW BOTTLE COOLANT LEVEL

Always check and change the coolant at the intervals outlined in the Periodic

Maintenance Chart. Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and

maximum marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool).

1. Position the vehicle on a level

surface.

2. Lift the hood. View the coolant level

in the overflow bottle w.

3. If the coolant level is below the safe

operating range, lift the hood and

locate the overflow bottle lid.

Remove the cap and use a funnel to

add coolant through the filler

opening. Reinstall the cap.

TIP

If coolant must be added often, or if

the overflow bottle runs completely

dry, there may be a leak in the system.

Your dealer can inspect the cooling

system.
