To change coolant

WARNING

Removing the Cooling System Cap:

Removing the cooling system cap

while the engine is running or hot is

dangerous. This might lead to cooling

system and engine damage and could

result in serious injury from escaping

hot coolant or steam. Turn off the

engine and wait until it's cool. Even

then, be very careful when removing

the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around the

cap and slowly turn it

counterclockwise to the first stop.

Step back while the pressure escapes .

When you're sure all the pressure is

gone, press down on the cap ― still

using a cloth ― turn the cap, and

remove it.

1. Make sure the engine is not runni ng

and it has cooled.

2. Remove the cooling system cap.

3. Remove the radiator drain plug and

drain the coolant into a suitable

container. Properly dispose of the used

coolant.

4. Flush out the system with running

water.

5. Drain the system completely. Insert and

tighten the plug. Add as much

ethylene-glycol-based coolant mixture

and water as necessary to provide

freezing and corrosion protection.

6. In extremely cold climates, add the

mixture percentage recommend ed in

the coolant mixture percentage table.

7. Run the engine at idle with the cooling

system cap off. Slowly add additional

coolant if necessary.

8. At this point, wait until the engine

reaches normal operating temperature;

then depress the accelerator two or

three times. Add more coolant, if

necessary, until the system is full.

9. Install the cooling system cap. Inspect

all connections for leaks. Inspect the

level in the coolant reservoir one more

time and verify that the coolant level is

between the F and L marks.
