Cooling System Refilling

WARNING: If the radiator cap is removed when the engine and radiator are still hot, extremely hot fluid and steam may spew out under pressure. This can cause severe burns. Wait until the engine coolant temperature has lowered before removing the radiator cap.

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

Stop engine and wait until engine comes cooled down fully.
Add coolant to radiator up to bottom of radiator filler neck, and install radiator cap.
Repeat Step 4) through 7).
Confirm that coolant level in reservoir is at "FULL" level mark. If coolant is insufficient, add coolant.
Check for check cooling system for leakage, see ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM INSPECTION .
