    • Check and top up the coolant to the 'MAX' mark if required.
    • Install the pressure tester adapter cap and JLR-303-1649 coolant drain adapter as illustrated.

      Special Tool(s): JLR-303-1649 

      General Equipment: Cooling system pressure tester 

    • Use the cooling system pressure tester to slowly pressurize the cooling system until the gauge reads 1 bar (15 psi).
    • Maintain the pressure during the bleeding process.

    Install the coolant expansion tank cap.

24. WARNING: Never start the engine or leave it running, when the vehicle is in an enclosed space without adequate ventilation. Exhaust gases are poisonous and inhalation can cause unconsciousness and potentially lead to serious injury or death.

    Install the exhaust gas extraction hose to the exhaust pipe of the vehicle.

25. CAUTION: Regularly check the engine temperature warning lamp and the instrument panel. If a warning lamp is displayed, switch the engine OFF immediately and allow to cool. Failure to follow this instruction may cause damage to the vehicle.
    • Start the engine and allow to idle.
    • Select 'Sand' driving mode.
    • Set the heating system to 'MAX' heat with the blower speed control to 'MAX' speed and the air distribution to the instrument panel vents.
26. Hold the engine speed between 2500 RPM and 3500 RPM until warm air is expelled from the heater core. The electric cooling fans need to start to audibly operate, indicating that the coolant is circulating in the full system with the thermostat opened.
27. Switch the engine OFF and allow to cool.
28. Clean any split coolant from the vehicle.
29. Remove the exhaust gas extraction hose from the vehicle.
30. WARNING: Since injury such as scalding could be caused by escaping steam or coolant, allow the vehicle cooling system to cool prior to completing this step.

    Check and top up the coolant fluid if required.
