Checking Level
Check the cooling system every day to prevent over-
heating, loss of performance or engine damage.
Make sure the engine is cool.
Figure 95
Raise the hood (Item 1) [Figure 95].
Check coolant level in the recovery tank (Item 2)
[Figure 95].
Remove the cap (Item 3) [Figure 95] from the recovery
tank.
Add premixed coolant to the recovery tank until it is at the
MAX level.
AVOID ENGINE DAMAGE
Always use the correct ratio of water to antifreeze.
Too much antifreeze reduces cooling system
efficiency and may cause serious premature engine
damage.
Too little antifreeze reduces the additives which
protect the internal engine components; reduces the
boiling point and freeze protection of the system.
Always add a premixed solution. Adding full strength
concentrated coolant can cause serious premature
engine damage.
