Filling - 2.4L

  1. Close radiator draincock by turning clockwise.
  2. Open cooling system bleed valve (Fig 1).
  3. Attach a 6.35 mm (0.250 in.) inside diameter clear hose that is 120.0 cm (48 in.) long to the bleed valve. Route the hose away from accessory drive belts and radiator fan. Position the other end of hose into a collecting container. The hose will prevent coolant from contacting accessory drive belts and other components.
  4. Remove cooling system pressure cap and fill cooling system with recommended coolant.
  5. Slowly continue filling until a steady stream of coolant flows from attached hose on bleed valve.
  6. Close bleed valve and remove hose.
  7. Fill coolant to the top of pressure cap neck.
  8. Install cooling system pressure cap.
  9. Fill coolant recovery container to the MAX mark.
  10. Start engine and allow to run until thermostat opens and radiator fans cycle.
    NOTE: It may be necessary to add additional coolant to the coolant recovery container after three or four warm-up/cool down cycles to maintain coolant level between the MIN and MAX marks; as additional trapped air is removed from the system.
