Engine coolant
Engine coolant
The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year round anti
-
freeze coolant. The reservoir is filled at
the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at the
beginning of the winter season, and
before traveling to a colder climate.
WARNING
Radiator
Never attempt to remove the radiator or
inverter cap while the engine is operat
-
ing or hot. Doing so might lead to cool
-
ing system and engine damage and
could result in serious personal injury
from escaping hot coolant or steam.
Recommended coolant
When adding coolant, use only deion
-
ized water or soft water for your vehicle
and never mix hard water in the coolant
filled at the factory. An improper coolant
mixture can result in serious malfunction
or damage.
僅 The engine in your vehicle has alumi
-
num engine parts and must be pro
-
tected by an phosphate based
ethylene-glycol coolant to prevent
corrosion and freezing.
僅 Do not use alcohol or methanol cool
-
ant or mix them with the specified
coolant.
僅 Do not use a solution that contains
more than 60% antifreeze or less than
35% antifreeze, which would reduce
the effectiveness of the solution.
僅 The cooling circuit of a vehicle
equipped with a heat pump system
may freeze in extremely low tempera
-
ture when the concentration of the
antifreezing liquid is below 45%.
For mixture percentage, refer to the fol
-
lowing table.
WARNING
Radiator cap
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine and radiator
are hot. Scalding hot coolant and
steam may blow out under pressure
which may result in serious injury.
NOTICE
Make sure the coolant cap is properly
closed after refill or coolant.
Otherwise the engine could be over
-
heated while driving.
1. Check if the radiator cap label is
straight In front.
