COOLANT REPLACEMENT

NOTICE:

To avoid the danger of burns, do not begin work
until the engine and coolant have properly cooled
down.

To ensure that coolant is poured in properly, per–
form the operation at a level area. Performing work
with the vehicle inclined may cause improper re–
moval of coolant or improper air removal when
pouring coolant.

After replacing the coolant, check the water level in
the water filler and reservoir tank once or twice
within 500 km (311 miles) of driving or within one
week.
