b. Remove the radiator cap, 2, and the drain plug to
let all coolant drain out of the radiator and engine
cylinder block.
c. When all coolant completely drained out, wash
the inside of the radiator and tighten the drain
plug securely.
d. Pour the coolant which has a specified antifreeze
concentration until it starts overflowing through
the coolant filler. Retighten the radiator cap
securely.
Radiator 2.5 liters
Reserve tank 1.0 liters
WARNING: Be sure to tighten the radiator
cap securely, or boiling coolant may shoot
out, which is very dangerous.
IMPORTANT:
・Frozen coolant may damage the engine.
・Mixing ratio of water and antifreeze is different
by antifreeze manufacturers and atmospheric
temperatures.
・Water and antifreeze should be blended sufficiently
beforehand.
e. After filling, start the engine and let it idle for 5
minutes or so. Then check the coolant level. If
the level is low, replenish the reserve tank with
coolant in referring to "4. COOLANT LEVEL".
IMPORTANT: Never attempt to run the engine without
coolant, or the engine will seize, leading
to its complete damage.
IMPORTANT: When replacing coolant (at the engine
cool down), remove the air plug and
bleed air, otherwise it may result in engine
broken. When coolant is full, tighten plug,
and replenish coolant from the radiator
cap, 2.
