- Remove the cooling system cap.
- Drain the engine coolant from the coolant reserve tank.
- Insert the specified hose (hose inner diameter: 7 mm {0.3 in}) into the service hole of front under cover No. 1.
- Connect the hose to the engine coolant outlet of the radiator.
- Loosen the radiator drain plug and drain the engine coolant into a container.
- After completely draining the engine coolant, tighten the radiator drain plug.
- Disconnect the hose for draining engine coolant.
- Referring to the following chart, select the correct volume percentage of the water and engine coolant.
Antifreeze solution mixture percentage (Except FL22 type engine coolant)
Engine coolant protection Volume percentage (%) Gravity at 20 °C {68 °F} Water Coolant Above -16 °C {3 °F} 65 35 1.057 Above -26 °C {-15 °F} 55 45 1.072 Above -40 °C {-40 °F} 45 55 1.086 - Refill the engine coolant from the radiator filler neck until it is close to the top of the radiator filler neck.
- Refill the engine coolant into the coolant reserve tank up to the F mark on the tank.
- Install the cooling system cap.CAUTION:
- If the high engine coolant temperature warning light flashes, stop the engine to lower the engine coolant temperature and prevent overheating. Then, verify the malfunctioning part and repair or replace it.
- Start the engine and warm up the engine by idling.
- After the engine warms up, perform the following steps. At this time, be careful of the engine coolant temperature to prevent overheating.NOTE:
- If the accelerator pedal is depressed continuously for a specified time, the engine speed may decrease to the idle speed. This is due to the fuel cut control operation, which prevents overheating, and it does not indicate a malfunction.
- Run the engine at 2, 500 rpm for 5 min.
- Maintain the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm for 5 s, and then idle.
- Repeat Steps ( 1), (2) several times.
- Stop the engine, and inspect the engine coolant level after the engine coolant temperature decreases. If it is low, repeat Steps 9 -13.
- Inspect for engine coolant leakage. (See ENGINE COOLANT LEAKAGE INSPECTION .)
