3. Fill reservoir tank to specified level.
4. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature without radia-
tor cap installed.
●If engine coolant overflows radiator filler hole, install
radiator cap.
5. Run engine at 3,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle speed
with radiator cap installed.
●Repeat two or three times.
Watch engine coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat
the engine.
6. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately
50°C(122°F).
●Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.
●If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
7. Refill reservoir tank to MAX level line with engine coolant.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer
drops.
9. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
10. Warm up engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000
rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between COOL and WARM.
●Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
11. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 5 through 7 until engine coolant level
no longer drops.
●Clean excess engine coolant from engine.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Fill radiator with water until water spills from the air relief hole, then close air relief flag. Fill radiator and
reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
2. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
3. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
4. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
5. Drain water.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
Checking Cooling SystemELS000C4
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure
engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter
turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by turning it all the way.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES
Check hoses for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
CHECKING RADIATOR
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.
●Be careful not to bend or damage the radiator fins.
●When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator
shroud and horns. Then tape the harness and connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core vertically downwards.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surface once per minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from the radiator.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downwards.
●Use compressed air lower than 490 kpa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm2 , 71psi) and keep distance more than 30
cm(11.8 in).

5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surface once per minute until no water sprays out.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
●Check that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of the radiator cap negative-pressure valve.
●Check that there are no unusualness in the opening and closing
conditions of the negative-pressure valve.
●Pull the negative pressure valve to open it.
●Check that it close completely when released.
●Check radiator cap relief pressure.
●When connecting the radiator cap to the tester, apply engine
coolant to the cap seal part.
●Replace the radiator cap if there is an unusualness in the nega-
tive-pressure valve, or if the open-valve pressure is outside of the standard values.
CHECKING RADIATOR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with a
tester.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high pressure engine coolant escaping
from the radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
Checking Fuel LinesELS000CE
Inspect fuel lines, filler cap and tank for improper attachment, leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
If necessary, repair or replace faulty parts.

WARNING:
●Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
●Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer: try to avoid direct skin contact with
used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly
with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.

4. Drain engine oil.
●Install drain plug and refill with new engine oil.
Engine oil specification and viscosity:
●API grade CF-4.
●ACEA B1, B3, B4, B5
●Refer to MA-16, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .
Engine oil capacity (Approximate):
●The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifications for
reference only.
Always use the dipstick to the determine when the proper amount of engine oil is in the engine.
CAUTION:
●Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
●The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to the determine when the proper amount of engine oil is in the
engine.
5. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for engine oil leakage.

Checking A/T FluidELS000BV
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, fluid level can be checked at fluid temperatures
of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using “COLD” range on dipstick.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove dipstick and note reading. If level is at low side of either
range, and fluid to the charging pipe.
e. Re-insert dipstick into charging pipe as far as it will go.
f. Remove dipstick and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add fluid to the charging pipe.
Do not overfill.

●If fluid is very dark or smells burned, refer to AT section for
checking operation of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair of
A/T.
●If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
