CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT 

CAUTION: When pouring engine coolant, be sure to shut the relay box lid and not to let coolant spill on electrical parts or the paint. If any coolant

spills, rinse it off immediately.

4. Tighten the radiator drain plug securely.
5. Remove, drain and reinstall the reservoir. Fill the tank halfway to the MAX mark with water, then up to the MAX mark with antifreeze.
6. Pour coolant into the radiator up to the base of the filler neck, and install the radiator cap loosely.
7. Start the engine and let it run until it warms up (the radiator fan comes on at least twice).

Check the level in the radiator, add coolant if needed.
