6B-2 ENGINE COOLING
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The cooling system consists of the radiator cap, radiator, coolant reservoir tank, hoses, water pump, cooling fan
and thermostat. The radiator is of tube-and-fin type.
COOLING SYSTEM CIRCULATION
While the engine is warmed up (thermostat closed), coolant circulates as follows.
When coolant is warmed up to normal temperature and the thermostat opens, coolant passes through the radi-
ator core to be cooled as well as the above flow circuit.
1. Radiator inlet hose 5. Water pump 9. Heater outlet hose
2. Radiator outlet hose 6. Throttle body (Fast idle control plunger) 10. Radiator
3. Water inlet pipe 7. Engine
4. Thermostat 8. Heater inlet hose
Water pump Cylinder block
Thermostat closedCylinder head Water intake pipeThrottle body

ENGINE COOLING 6B-3
COOLANT
The coolant recovery system is standard. The coolant in the radiator expands with heat, and the overflow is col-
lected in the reservoir.
When the system cools down, the coolant is drawn back into the radiator.
The cooling system has been filled at the factory with a quality coolant that is a 50/50 mixture of water and eth-
ylene glycol antifreeze (70/30; in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated).
This 50/50 mixture coolant solution provides freezing protection to –36°C (–33°F).
Maintain cooling system freeze protection at –36°C (–33°F) to ensure protection against corrosion and loss
of coolant from boiling. This should be done even if freezing temperatures are not expected.
Add ethylene glycol base coolant when coolant has to be added because of coolant loss or to provide added
protection against freezing at temperature lower than –36°C (–33°F).
Anti-freeze proportioning table
Coolant capacity NOTE:
Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any
time as damage to cooling system could occur.
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze/Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corro-
sion protection and lubrication.

MAINTENANCE
COOLANT LEVEL CHECK
To check level, lift hood and look at “see-through” coolant reser-
voir tank.
It is not necessary to remove radiator cap to check coolant level.
When engine is cool, check coolant level in reservoir tank (1).
A normal coolant level should be between FULL mark (2) and
LOW mark (3) on reservoir tank (1).
If coolant level is below LOW mark (3), remove reservoir tank cap
(4) and add proper coolant to tank to bring coolant level up to
FULL mark (2). Then, reinstall cap (4) and align match marks (5)
on tank and cap (4). WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap to check engine coolant level; check coolant visually at the see-through
coolant reservoir.
Coolant should be added only to reservoir as necessary.
As long as there is pressure in the cooling system, the temperature can be considerably higher
than the boiling temperature of the solution in the radiator without causing the solution to boil.
Removal of the radiator cap while engine is hot and pressure is high will cause the solution to boil
instantaneously and possibly with explosive force, spewing the solution over engine, fenders and
person removing cap. If the solution contains flammable anti-freeze such as alcohol (not recom-
mended for use at any time), there is also the possibility of causing a serious fire.
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned :
do not remove reservoir tank cap while coolant is boil-
ing, and
do not remove radiator cap while engine and radiator
are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pres-
sure if either cap is taken off too soon.
NOTE:
If proper quality antifreeze is used, there is no need to
add extra inhibitors or additives that claim to improve
system.
They may be harmful to proper operation of system,
and are unnecessary expense.
When installing reservoir cap, align arrow marks on
reservoir and cap.
