1) Coolant Level Check
Park the vehicle on level ground and apply the parking brake. Stop the engine and wait until it is
cooled down. The coolant level should be between the MAX and MIN mark on the coolant reservoir.
If the coolant level is below the “MIN” mark, immediately add coolant. A.

Scalding hot coolant and steam could be blown out under pressure, which could cause serious
injury. Never remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine and radiator are hot.
Avoid any direct contact of the coolant to the painted body of the vehicle. -

2) Leak Test
Release the pressure in the system by
loosening the pressure cap of the coolant
reservoir slightly. Then, remove the pressure
cap completely. A.
Never open the cap until the coolant
temperature becomes under 90℃ to
prevent any burn.
Add the coolant so that the coolant level is
between MAX and MIN mark on the coolant
auxiliary tank.
Connect the tester to the tank filler and apply
pressure (1.4 bar).
Check all the coolant hoses, pipes and
connections for leaks when the pressure of
the tester drops, and replace or tighten, if
necessary. B.

3) Thermostat
Immerse the thermostat into the water. Heat the
water and check the valve opening temperature.

3. CAUTIONS
If 100% of anti-freeze is added, the water pump vane can be damaged and thermal conductivity can
be decreased resulting in poor circulation in the cooling system which leads to overheated engine.
Use of non-recommended coolant could cause damage to the cooling system and overheating of the
engine.
Opening the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot can cause burns by hot steam o
r
water.
To open the coolant reservoir cap, wrap the cap with a wet towel or thick cloth after the engine is
cooled down sufficiently.
If cool water is added to the heated engine, the engine or radiator can be deformed.
The anti-freeze in the coolant can damage the painted surface, so avoid the contact of the coolant to
the painted body.
The anti-freeze and water should be mixed in proper mixture ratio. Never add only water when
adding coolant.
If the anti-freeze content is too low, the coolant can be frozen while the engine can be overheated if
anti-freeze content is too high. -

Water pump
The water pump is driven by the engine drive belt and supplies
the coolant to each area of the engine.
Coolant reservoir
Thermostat
When the engine coolant
reaches 90℃, the thermostat
starts to open (fully open at
100℃) and lets the coolant
flow to the radiator to maintain
the engine temperature.
1. OVERVIEW
The coolant system is to keep the engine temperature stable.
2. COMPONENTS

08-132112-01
Coolant temperature
sensor
Measures the coolant
temperature and sends the result
to the engine ECU.
Radiator
Radiates the heat through fins and cools
down the hot coolant as the coolant
passes through the tube of the radiator
core.PWM fan
Circulates the fresh air forcibly to exchange
heat with the radiator core fin.
