1F-5 Engine Cooling System:
Coolant Level Check
S3RH0A1606002
To check level, lift hood and look at “see-through”
coolant reservoir tank.
It is not necessary to remove radiator cap to check
coolant level.
WARNING
!
To help avoid danger of being burned:
• Do not remove reservoir cap while coolant
is boiling.
• Do not remove radiator cap while engine
and radiator are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out
under pressure if either cap is taken off too
soon.
When engine is cool, check coolant level in reservoir
tank (1).
A normal coolant level should be between FULL mark
(2) and LOW mark (3) on reservoir tank (1).
If coolant level is below LOW mark (3), remove reservoir
tank cap (4) and add proper coolant to tank to bring
coolant level up to FULL mark (2). Then, reinstall cap (4)
and align match marks (5) on tank and cap.
NOTE
• If proper quality antifreeze is used, there is
no need to add extra inhibitors or additives
that claim to improve system. They may be
harmful to proper operation of system, and
are unnecessary expense.
• When installing reservoir cap, align arrow
marks on reservoir and cap.
Engine Cooling System Inspection and
Cleaning
S3RH0A1606003
WARNING
!
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not
remove radiator cap while engine and
radiator are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out
under pressure if cap is taken off too soon.
1) Check cooling system for leakage or damage.
2) Wash radiator cap and filler neck with clean water by
removing radiator cap when engine is cold.
3) Check coolant for proper level and freeze protection.
4) Using a pressure tester (1), check system and
radiator cap (2) for proper pressure holding capacity.
If replacement of cap is required, use a proper cap
for this vehicle.
Cooling system and radiator cap holding
pressure (for inspection)
110 kPa (1.1 kg/cm
2 , 15.6 psi)
NOTE
After installing radiator cap to radiator, make
sure that the ear of cap lines is parallel to
radiator.
5) Tighten hose clamps and inspect all hoses. Replace
hoses whenever cracked, swollen or otherwise
deteriorated.
6) Clean frontal area of radiator core.
