COOLING SYSTEM EMA -75
INSPECTION E60AA7F9
ENGINE COOLANT REFILLING AND
BLEEDING
WARNING
Never r
emove the radiator cap when the engine is
hot. Se
rious scalding could be caused by hot fluid
under
high pressure escaping from the radiator.
CAUTION
When pouring engine coolant, be sure to shut the
relay box lid and not to let coolant spill on the
electrical parts or the paint. If any coolant spills,
rinse it off immediately.
1. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to the
touch.
2. Remov
e radiator cap.
3. Loosen the drain plug, and drain the coolant.
4. Tighten the radiator drain plug securely.
5. Remov
e, drain and reinstall the reservoir. Fill the tank
half
waytotheMAXmarkwithwater,thenuptothe
MAX m
ark with antifreeze.
6. Fill fluid mixture with coolant and water(4 : 6) slowly
through the radiator cap. Push the upper/lower hoses
of the radiator so as bleed air easily.
NOTE
• Use only g enuine antifreeze/coolant.
• For best corrosion protection, the coolant con-
centration must be maintained year-round at 50%
minimum.
Coolant concentrations less than 50% may not
provide sufficient protection against corrosio n or
freezing.
• Coolant concentrations greater then 60% will im-
pair cooling efficiency and are not recommended.
CAUTION
• Do not mix different brands of an-
tifreeze/coolants.
• Do not use additional rust inhibitors or an-
tirust products; they may not be compatible
with the co olant.
7. Start the engine and run coolant circulates.
When the cooling fan operates and coolant circulates,
refill coolant through the radiator cap.
8. Repeat 7 until the cooling fan 3 ~ 5times and bleed air
sufficiently out o f the cooling system.
9. Install the radiator cap and fill the reservoir tank to the
"MAX" line with coolant.
10. Run the vehicle under idle until the cooling fan oper-
ates 2 ~ 3 times.
11. Stop the engine and wait coolant gets cool.
12. Repeat 6 to 11 until the coolant level doesn’t fall any
more, bleed air out of the cooling system.
NOTE
As it is to bleed air out to the cooling system and re fill
coolant when c oolant gets cool completely, recheck
the coolant level in the reser voir tank for 2 ~ 3 days
after replacing coolant.
