ditions, varying road surfaces, indi vidual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte-
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond th e last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

ENGINE COOLANT : Flushing Cooling System
INFOID:0000000012432255
1. Install radiator drain plug and reservoir tank, if removed.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.
2. If water drain plugs on cylinder block were removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-93, "
Exploded
View".
3. Remove air duct from between air cleaner case and electric throttle control actuator. Refer to EM-26,
"Removal and Installation".
4. Disconnect heater hose (1) at location ( ) as shown. • Position heater hose as high as possible.
: Front
5. Fill radiator until engine coolant flows out of the disconnected heater hose and then reconnect the heater
hose.
6. Finish filling the engine and reservoir tank with water and reinstall the radiator cap.
7. Install air duct in between air cleaner case and electric throttle control actuator. Refer to EM-26, "
Removal
and Installation".
8. Run the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
9. Rev the engine two or three times under no-load.
10. Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
11. Drain water from the system. Refer to MA-16, "
ENGINE COOLANT : Draining Engine Coolant".
12. Repeat steps 1 through 11 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
FUEL LINES
FUEL LINES : InspectionINFOID:0000000012432256
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap, and fuel tank for improper attach-
