Cooling System
13. Pour coolant into the expansion
tank. Coolant will go through the
tank into the system.
When the tank is full, go to each of
the four bleeders. Close each
bleeder when coolant comes out of
it in a steady stream with no
bubbles.
You may need to refill the expan-
sion tank.
14. Fill the expansion tank to about 1
in (2.5 cm) above the MAX line.
Put the cap back on the tank, only
tighten it to the first stop. Start the
engine and let it run until it warms
up (the radiator cooling fan comes
on at least twice).
15.Turn off the engine. Check the
expansion tank and, if needed, add
coolant to bring it up to the MAX
line. Tighten the expansion tank
cap. Reinstall the cover on the car's
underside.
The first coolant replacement should
be done at 36 months or 45,000 miles
(72,000 km) by your dealer. After
that, it should be replaced every 2
years or 30,000 miles (48,000 km).
