NOTICERemove the rear drive shaft if it is
necessary to exceed 45km/h (28
mph) and/or 80km (50 miles). If the
drive shaft cannot be removed, stop
every 80km (50 miles) and start
the engine. Allow the engine to idle
for a few minutes. This will ensure
that the transmission is sufficiently
lubricated.

resistance to turning will be felt
when properly engaged.
4. Turn the jack handle counter-clock-
wise until the spare tire reaches
the ground. Turn the jack handle
10~13 revolutions counter-clock-
wise more after the spare tire
reaches the ground, and draw the
spare tire towards rear of vehicle.
Never rotate the jack handle more
than 17 revolutions, otherwise the
spare tire carrier may be damaged.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEMThe high-pressure cooling system
has a reservoir filled with year-round
antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is
filled at the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at
the beginning of the winter season,
and before traveling to a colder cli-
mate.Checking the Coolant Level
MAINTENANCE
7-11
WARNING- Removing Radiator Cap
 Never attempt to remove the
radiator cap while the engine
is operating. Doing so might
lead to cooling system and
engine damage and could
result in serious personal
injury from escaping hot
coolant or steam. Turn the
engine off and wait until it has
cooled. Even then, use
extreme care when removing
the radiator cap. Wrap a thick
towel around it, and turn it
counterclockwise slowly to
the first stop. Step back while
the pressure is released from
the cooling system. When you
are sure all the pressure has
been released, press down on
the cap, using a thick towel,
and continue turning counter-
clockwise to remove it.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Even if the engine is not oper-
ating, do not remove the radi-
ator cap or the drain plug
while the engine and radiator
are hot. Hot coolant and
steam may still blow out
under pressure, causing seri-
ous injury.
BL-ENG (CAN)-7.qxd 7/28/05 5:58 PM Page 11

For mixture percentage, refer to the
following table1. Turn the coolant reservoir cap
counterclockwise to remove it.
2. Loosen the radiator drain plug and
drain the coolant into a suitable
container.
3. With the plug loose, flush the sys-
tem with running water.
4. Drain the system completely and
retighten the drain plug. Add the
necessary amount of ethylene-
glycol-based coolant and water to
provide the required protection
against freezing and corrosion. In
extremely cold climates, add ethyl-
ene-glycol based coolant in accor-
dance with the instructions of the
manufacturer.5. Run the engine at idle with the
coolant reservoir cap off. Slowly
add additional coolant as neces-
sary.
6. At this point, wait until the engine
reaches normal operating temper-
ature. Depress the accelerator two
or three times; then add coolant as
required. Be careful not to burn
yourself.
7. Replace the coolant reservoir cap.
Inspect all connections for leaks
and recheck the coolant level in the
reservoir. Recheck again after a
few days and add coolant as nec-
essary.
