4.After the engine coolant temperature has drop-
ped to the normal temperature, stop the engine.
5. Check the coolant level in the reserve tank.
WARNINGl If  there  is  none,  make  sure  that  the  en-
gine  has  cooled  down  before  removing
the radiator cap, because hot steam or boil-
ing water otherwise will gush from the fill-
er port and may scald you.6. Add  coolant  to  the  radiator  and/or  reserve
tank if necessary (refer to the “Maintenance”
section.)CAUTIONl Do  not  add  coolant  while  the  engine  is
hot.  Suddenly  adding  cold  coolant  could
damage the engine. Wait for the engine to
cool  down,  then  add  coolant  a  little  at  a
time.
7. Examine  the  radiator  hoses  for  coolant  leak-
age and the drive belt for looseness or damage.
If  there  is  anything  wrong  with  the  cooling
system  or  drive  belt,  we  recommend  you  to
have it checked and repaired.
