Coolant: Service and Repair
AIR BLEEDING
When refilling the cooling system after draining the coolant, perform the following:
1. Slowly pour the coolant into the radiator up to the filler neck.
2. Fill the coolant reservoir to the COLD FILL mark.
3. Install the radiator cap securely and start the engine.
4. Run the engine at idle speed until it reaches normal operating temperature.
Caution: If the temperature increases beyond normal, there is excessive air in the system. Stop the engine and allow it to cool; then repeat steps 1-3.
5. Run the engine at 2,000 rpm for 3-4 minutes.
6. Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Repeat steps 1-6; then go to step 8.
Warning: Do not remove the radiator cap until the engine is cool. Remove the radiator cap carefully and slowly, using a THICK rag.
8. Remove the radiator cap, and verify that the engine coolant level is near the filler neck. If not, repeat steps 1-8.
9. Ensure that the coolant in the reservoir is at the COLD FILL mark. Add coolant as necessary.
