4. Run engine at idle speed.
5. Run engine until radiator fan motor is operated.
6. Stop engine and wait until engine comes cooled down to avoid getting burned.
7. Add coolant to radiator up to bottom of radiator filler neck, and install radiator cap. See RADIATOR CAP REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
8. Repeat Step 4) through 7).
9. Confirm that coolant level in reservoir is at "FULL" level mark. If coolant is insufficient, add coolant.
10. Check for coolant leaks, see ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM INSPECTION .
