WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

■ Coolant Level Inspection 

  1. Check the cooling system coolant level.
  2. Is the coolant in the reservoir at the proper level?

    YES

    TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

    Temp.(°C) Resistance(kΩ) Temp.(°C) Resistance(kΩ)
    -20 14.1 ~ 16.8 40 Approx. 1.2
    0 Approx. 5.8 60 Approx. 0.6
    20 2.3~2.6 80 Approx. 0.3
