Engine Coolant Refilling and Bleeding
CAUTION: When pouring engine coolant, be sure to
shut the relay box lid and not let coolant spill on the
electrical parts or the paint. If any coolant spills, rinse it
off immediately.
NOTE:
• Perform this maintenance when the engine is cool.
• Before replacing the coolant, turn the ignition ON,
slowly turn the climate control temperature knob to
90° and turn off the ignition. This will allow the
coolant in the heater to drain out with the rest of the
system.
1. Open the hood, the rear window and the engine
cover.
2. Remove the cover protecting the water pipes and
shift cables on the underside of the car.
3. Before removing the expansion tank cap, first
loosen the cap to lower pressure.
CAUTION: Do not remove the expansion tank cap
when engine is hot. The coolant is under pressure
and may blow out and scald you. Open the cap
slowly when the engine is cool.
4. Loosen the drain plug in the bottom of the radiator,
and drain the coolant.
5. Remove the two drain bolts from the water pipes,
and drain the coolant.
