Storage (E-TEC)
Engine Cooling System
E-TEC Engines
Antifreeze should be replaced every
5 y ears or 6000 km to prevent an-
tifreeze deterioration.
The antifreeze replacement and a den-
sity test should be performed by an au-
thorized LYNX dealer.
CAUTION Improper antifreeze
mixture might allow freezing of the
liquid in the cooling system if vehi-
cleisstoredinareawherefreezing
point is reached. This would seri-
ously damage the engine. Failure
to replace the antifreeze for storage
may allow its degradation that could
result in poor cooling when engine
will be used.
CAUTION Do not run engine
during storage period.
Engine Storage Mode (E-TEC)
Like other engines, the E-TEC has to
be properly lubricated at storage for
internal parts p rotection. The E-TEC
system offers a built-in engine storage
lubrication function (sum merization)
that can be initiated by the operator.
To engage procedure, do the following:
1. Place the vehicle in a we ll ven tila te d
area.
2. Start the engine and let it run at idle
speed until it reaches its op erat-
ing temperature (watch the coolant
temperature on the display or verify
the rear heat exchanger becomes
warm).).
3. Push the SET (S) button to select
odometer mode.
