Cooling System Refilling

Reference: COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHING

WARNING: To avoid getting burned, do not remove radiator cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam can gush out under pressure if cap is taken off too soon.

NOTE: SUZUKI super long life coolant as supply part is diluted to the 50 percentage with deionized water. Use it as it is without diluting.

Fill reservoir (1) with coolant up to FULL mark (3).
Install reservoir cap (2) on reservoir (1).
