Cooling System

1. Make sure the engine and

radiator are cool.

2. Turn the radiator cap

counterclockwise, without
pressing down on it, until it
stops. This relieves any

pressure remaining in the
cooling system.

3. Remove the radiator cap by

pushing down and turning
counterclockwise.

4. The coolant level should be

up to the base of the filler
neck. Add coolant if it is low.

5. Put the radiator cap back on.

Tighten it fully.

6. Pour coolant into the reserve

tank. Fill it to halfway
between the MAX and MIN
marks. Put the cap back on
the reserve tank.

Do not add any rust inhibitors or
other additives to your car's
cooling system. They may not be
compatible with the coolant or
engine components.

Replacing Engine Coolant

The cooling system should be
completely drained and refilled
with new coolant according to
the time and mileage

recommendations in the
maintenance schedule. Only use

the recommended antifreeze.

Draining the coolant requires

access to the underside of the
car. Unless you have the tools
and knowledge, you should have
this maintenance done by a
skilled mechanic.
