Coolant: Service and Repair

Engine Coolant Change

WARNING:  To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove radiator cap while engine and radiator are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure if cap is taken off too soon.

CAUTION:  When changing engine coolant, use mixture of 50% water and 50% ANTIFREEZE / ANTICORROSION COOLANT for the market where
ambient temperature falls lower than -16 °C (3 °F) in winter, and mixture of 70% water and 30% ANTIFREEZE / ANTICORROSION COOLANT for
the market where ambient temperature doesn't fall lower than -16 °C (3 °F).
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ANTIFREEZE / ANTICORROSION COOLANT should
be used for the purpose of corrosion protection and lubrication.

1. Remove radiator cap when engine is cool.

2. Loosen radiator drain plug (1) to drain coolant.
3. Remove reservoir, which is on the side of radiator, and drain.
4. Tighten plug securely. Also reinstall reservoir.
5. Fill radiator with specified amount of coolant, and run engine for 2 or 3 minutes at idle. This drives out any air which may still be trapped within

cooling system. STOP ENGINE. Add coolant as necessary until coolant level reaches the filler throat of radiator. Reinstall radiator cap.

6. Add coolant to reservoir so that its level aligns with Full mark. Then, reinstall cap aligning arrow marks on reservoir and cap.

NOTE:  When installing reservoir cap, align arrow marks on reservoir and cap.
