| Engine Coolant Refilling and Bleeding |
|
|
| 1. | Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to the touch. |
| 2. | Remove the reservoir tank 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. | After draining engine coolant in the reservoir tank, clean the tank. |
| 1. | Fill the radiator with water through the reservoir tank cap and tighten the cap.
|
| 2. | Start the engine and allow 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. |
| 3. | Wait until the engine is cool. |
| 4. | Repeat steps 1 to 3 until the drained water runs clear. |
| 5. | Fill fluid mixture with coolant and water (55-60%) (except for North America, Europe and China : 45-50%) slowly through the reservoir tank cap. Push the upper/lower hoses of the radiator so as bleed air easily.
|
| 6. | Start the engine and run until coolant circulates.When the cooling fan operates and coolant circulates, refill coolant through the reservoir tank cap. |
| 7. | Repeat 6 until the cooling fan 3-5 times and bleed air sufficiently out of the cooling system. |
| 8. | Install the reservoir tank cap and fill the reservoir tank to the "MAX" (or "F") line with coolant. |
| 9. | Run the vehicle under idle until the cooling fan operates 2-3 times. |
| 10. | Stop the engine and wait coolant gets cool.
