- Start engine and maintain an engine speed of
about 2000 RPM for approx. 3 minutes.

- Allow engine to idle until the lower radiator hose
is hot.Check coolant level and top up if
necessary. When engine is at normal operating
temperature, coolant level must be at max.
mark; when engine is cold, between min. and
max. marks.

WARNING!

The cooling system is pressurized when the
engine is warm. When opening the expansion
tank, wear gloves and other appropriate
protection, cover the cap using a cloth, and
open carefully to relieve system pressure
slowly.
