Reservoir tank engine coolant capacity (At MAX level): 0.8 l (7/8 US qt, 3/4 Imp qt)
^
When engine coolant overflows air relief hole on heater hose, install air relief plug with new O-ring.
Air relief plug: 1.19 Nm (0.12 kg-m, 11 inch lbs.)
5. Install radiator cap.
6. Warm up until opening thermostat. Standard for warming-up time is approximately 10 minutes at 3,000 Rpm.
