Refilling And Bleeding |
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious scalding could be caused by hot fluid under high pressure escaping from the radiator. |
When pouring engine coolant, shut the relay box lid and be careful not to spill coolant on the electrical parts or the paint. Rinse off any spilt coolant immediately. |
1. |
Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to the touch. |
2. |
Remove the pressure cap (A).
|
3. |
Remove the engine room under cover. (Refer to Engine and Transaxle Assembly - "Engine Room Under Cover") |
4. |
Loosen the drain plug (A), and drain the coolant.
|
5. |
Tighten the radiator drain plug securely. |
6. |
Clean the reservoir tank. |
7. |
Fill the reservoir tank with coolant and tighten the pressure cap. |
8. |
Start the engine and allow it to come to normal operating temperature. Wait for the cooling fans to turn on several times. Accelerate the engine to aid in purging trapped air. Shut engine off.
|
9. |
Wait until the engine is cool. |
10. |
Repeat steps 1 to 8 until the drained water runs clear. |
11. |
Fill fluid mixture with coolant and water (55 - 60%) (except for North America, Europe and China: 45 - 50%) slowly through the reservoir tank. Push the upper/lower hoses of the radiator so as bleed air easily.
|
12. |
Start the engine and run until coolant circulates. When the cooling fan operates and coolant circulates, refill coolant through the reservoir tank. |
13. |
Repeat step 12 until the cooling fan operates 3 - 5 times and bleed air sufficiently out of the cooling system. |
14. |
Fill the reservoir tank to the "MAX" (or "FULL") line with coolant and tighten the pressure cap. |
15. |
Run the vehicle under idle until the cooling fan operates 2 - 3 times. |
16. |
Stop the engine and wait coolant gets cool. |
17. |
Repeat steps 11 to 16 until the coolant level doesn't fall any more, bleed air out of the cooling system.
