Allow approximately 10 seconds to pass. Then remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level. If the coolant level has decreased, add coolant.*3
Repeat steps *1, *2 and *3 until the coolant level does not decrease.
- HINT:
- Be sure to perform this step while the engine is cold, as air in the radiator hose inlet will flow into the radiator if the engine is warmed up and the thermostat opens.
Install the radiator cap.*4
Set the air conditioning as follows.*5
Measurement Condition Item Condition Fan speed Any setting except off Temperature Toward WARM Air conditioning switch Off
Start the engine, warm it up until the thermostat opens, and then continue to run the engine for several minutes to circulate the coolant.*6
- CAUTION:
- Wear protective gloves. Hot areas on the parts may injure your hands.
- Be careful of the fan.
- Be careful as the engine, radiator and radiator hoses are hot and can cause burns.
- NOTICE:
- Immediately after starting the engine, if the radiator reservoir does not have any coolant, perform the following: 1) stop the engine, 2) wait until the coolant has cooled down, and 3) add coolant until the coolant is filled to the F line.
- Do not start the engine when there is no coolant in the radiator reservoir.
- Pay attention to the needle of the engine coolant temperature receiver gauge. Make sure that the needle does not show an abnormally high temperature.
- If there is not enough coolant, the engine may burn out or overheat.
- HINT:
- Press the radiator hose inlet and radiator hose outlet several times by hand to bleed air while warming up the engine.
- The thermostat opening timing can be confirmed by pressing the radiator hose outlet by hand and checking when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the hose.
Stop the engine and wait until the engine coolant cools down to ambient temperature. Then remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level.*7
- CAUTION:
- Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Pressurized, hot engine coolant and steam may be released and cause serious burns.
If the coolant level has decreased, add coolant and warm up the engine until the thermostat opens.*8
If the coolant level has not decreased, check that the coolant level in the radiator reservoir is at the F line.
If the coolant level is below the F line, repeat steps *4 through *8.
If the coolant level is above the F line, drain coolant until the coolant level reaches the F line.
41. INSPECT FOR COOLANT LEAK |
Remove the radiator cap.
- CAUTION:
- To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Thermal expansion may cause hot engine coolant and steam to blow out from the radiator.
