Coolant Level Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki Aerio and 2003 Suzuki Aerio. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To check level, lift hood and look at "see-through" coolant reservoir.
It is not necessary to remove radiator cap to check coolant level.
WARNING:
- To help avoid danger of being burned:
- Do not remove reservoir cap while coolant is boiling.
- Do not remove radiator cap while engine and radiator are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure if either cap is taken off too soon.
When engine is cool, check coolant level in reservoir (1).
A normal coolant level should be between FULL mark (2) and LOW mark (3) on reservoir (1).
If coolant level is below LOW mark (3), remove reservoir cap (4) and add proper coolant to reservoir to bring coolant level up to FULL mark (2). Then, reinstall cap (4) and align match marks (5) on reservoir and cap.
NOTE:
- If proper quality antifreeze is used, there is no need to add extra inhibitors or additives that claim to improve system. They may be harmful to proper operation of system, and are unnecessary expense.
- When installing reservoir cap, align arrow marks on reservoir and cap.
