    Raise and support the vehicle.

  2. Refer to: Radiator Splash Shield (Front End Body Panels, Removal and Installation).
  3. WARNING:
    • Release the cooling system pressure by slowly turning the coolant expansion tank cap a quarter of a turn. Cover the expansion tank cap with a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of scalding. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
    • Be prepared to collect escaping fluid.
    CAUTION: Since injury such as scalding could be caused by escaping steam or coolant, make sure the vehicle cooling system is cool prior to carrying out this procedure.

  17. Raise the engine speed to 2000 rpm for eight minutes.
  18. Switch the engine off and allow to cool.
  19. Visually check the engine and cooling system for signs of coolant leakage.
  20. WARNING: When releasing the cooling system pressure, cover the coolant expansion tank cap with a thick cloth.
    CAUTION:
    • Since injury such as scalding could be caused by escaping steam or coolant, make sure the vehicle cooling system is cool prior to carrying out this procedure.
    • Make sure the coolant level remains above the "COLD FILL RANGE" lower level mark.
    NOTE: When the cooling system is warm, the coolant will be approximately 10mm above the upper level mark on the expansion tank with the cap removed.

    Check and top-up the coolant if required.
