Checking Coolant Level
Remove the radiator cap only after the engine cools
to room temperature. Place a cloth over the cap,
and turn the cap about a half turn or stand the lever
to upright position to release internal pressure.
Opening the radiator cap while the engine is hot
causes steam and hot coolant to spray out, resulting
in skin burns.
1 Open the radiator cap and check the coolant
level.
2 If the coolant level is low, add coolant to the
specified level.
Always add coolant having the same LLC concen-
tration.
Note:(a) Determine the amounts of LLC and water
to be poured by using the LLC concentra-
tion chart.
(b) Regarding coolant, refer to
3 If the reserve tank is installed, pour coolant to the
reserve tank up to the [FULL] line.
