Checking the coolant level1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Check the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir when the engi ne is cold as the
coolant level varies with engine tempera-
ture.TIPThe coolant should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks.
3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level mark, remove the coolant reservoir
cap, add coolant to the maximum level
mark, and install the reservoir cap.

WARNING
EWB01891Wait for the engine and radiator to cool be-
fore removing the radiator cap. You could
be burned by hot fluid and steam blown
out under pressure. Always place a thick
rag over the cap when opening. Allow any
remaining pressure to escape before com-
pletely removing the cap. 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the hood. (See page 8-10 for hood removal and installation proce-
dures.)

12. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
13. Pour the recommended coolant into theradiator until it is full.
14. Pour the recommended coolant into the
reservoir to the maximum level mark, and
then install the reservoir cap.NOTICEECB02190Mix antifreeze with distilled water only.
However, if distilled water is not available,
soft water may be used for refilling. Do not
use hard water or salt water since they are
harmful to the engine.
15. Remove the right panel and right rearpanel. (See page 8-11 for right panel and
right rear panel removal and installation
procedures.)
16. Loosen the water pump air bleed bolt, without removing it, to allow all of the air
to escape from the air bleed bolt hole.
