temperature to prevent overheating.
1. Run the engine at approx. 4,000 rpm for 1 min.
2. Run the engine at idle for 1 min.
3. Repeat steps (1), (2)
approx. 2 times.
4. Operate the heater at the maximum temperature and airflow, and verify that hot air blows from
werit.
11. Stop the engine, and inspect the engine coolant level after the engine temperature decrease. If it is low,
repeat steps 7 - 10.
12. Inspect for engine coolant leakage. (See
ENGINE COOLANT LEAKAGE INSPECTION [MZI-3.7]

ENGINE COOLANT LEAKAGE INSPECTION [MZI-3.7]
1. Inspect the engine coolant level. (See
ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [MZI-3.7]
.)
2. Remove the cooling system cap.
3. Install the
SST
and a radiator cap tester to the coolant reserve tank filler port.
4. Apply pressure using the radiator cap tester.
NOTE:
z
If the accelerator pedal is depressed confiously for a speciffed time,
the engine speed may decrease to the idle speed. This is does not
indicate a malfunction.
WARNING:
z
Never remove the cooling system cap or loosen the radiator drain
plug while the engine is running, or when the engine and radiator are
hot. Scalding engine coolant and steam may shoot out and cause
serious injury. It may also damage the engine and cooling system.
z
Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very
careful when removing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and
slowly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while the
pressure escapes.
z
When you are sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap
using the cloth, turn it, and remove it.
CAUTION:
z
Applying more than 122.6 kPa {1.25 kgf/cm
2
, 17.8 psi} can
damage the hoses, fittings, and other components, and cause
leakage.
