Set the heater controls to maximum.
14. CAUTION: Observe the engine temperature gauge. If the engine
starts to over-heat switch off immediately and allow to cool. Failure to
follow this instruction may cause damage to the vehicle
Start the engine and idle until hot air is emited at the face registers.
15. Switch the heater off.
16. Raise the engine speed to 2000 RPM for eight minutes.
17. CAUTION: Switch off the engine and allow the coolant temperature
to go cold.
Switch the engine off.
18. Visually check the engine and cooling system for signs of coolant
leakage.
19. WARNING: When releasing the cooling system pressure, cover the
coolant expansion tank cap with a thick cloth.
CAUTIONS:
Since injury such as scalding could be caused by escaping steam or
coolant, make sure the vehicle cooling system is cool prior to carrying
out this procedure
Make sure the coolant level remains above the "COLD FILL RANGE"
lower level mark.
NOTE: When the cooling system is warm, the coolant will be
approximately 10mm above the upper level mark on the expansion tank
with the cap removed.
Check and top-up the coolant if required.

Continue to fill the coolant until the maximum level
is reached.
6. Set the heater controls to maximum.
7. Start engine and increase speed to 2000 rpm for 2 minutes.
8.
Continue to top-up with coolant with engine idling until hot air is
emitted from face vents.
When hot air is emitted from the vents, switch the heater off. Go
to Step 10.
9. If no hot air is emitted, turn the engine off for 10 seconds and the start
the engine and return to Step 7.
10. CAUTION: Correct installation of the Coolant
expansion tank cap can be obtained by tightening the cap
until an audible click is heard.
Continue to fill the coolant until the maximum level is
reached.
11. Switch the heater off.
12. Raise the engine speed to 2000 rpm for eight minutes.
13. Switch the engine off and allow to cool.
