• Do not use a solution that contains
more than 60% antifreeze or less
then 35% antifreeze which would
reduce the effectiveness of the
solution.
For mixture percentages, refer to the
following table.
1. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise
and remove it.
2. Loosen the radiator drain plug and
drain the coolant into a suitable
container.
3. With the drain plug loose, flush the
system with running water.
4. Drain the system completely and
retighten the drain plug. Add the
necessary amount of ethylene
glycolbased coolant and water to
provide the required protection
against freezing and corrosion.
In extremely cold climates, add the
necessary amount of ethylene
glycolbased coolant in accordance
with the instructions of the coolant
manufacturer.
5. Run the engine at idle with the
radiator cap off. Slowly add
additional coolant if necessary.
6. At this point, wait until the engine
reaches normal operating temperature.
Depress the accelerator two or three
times; then add coolant if required. Be
careful not to burn yourself.
7. Install the radiator cap. Inspect all
connections for leaks and recheck the
coolant level in the reservoir.
Recheck again after a few days of
driving and add coolant as necessary.
