Engine Coolant: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Do not use water in place of the coolant fluid.
Refer to "RM" information for recommended engine coolant. < Refer to ENGINE COOLANT , RECOMMENDED MATERIALS, Recommended Materials. >

Park the vehicle on a level surface.
When the engine is cold, make sure that the reservoir tank level is between "FULL" and "LOW".
NOTE: If the coolant level is low, check for the coolant leakage and refill the coolant up to the "FULL" line.
