Check the coolant level in the reserve tank
when the engine is cold.
Check if the level is between the “F (full)” and
“L (low)” lines.
If the coolant level becomes low due to
natural evaporation, add soft water only. If
a substantial amount of coolant is lost, add
long-life coolant.
If the reserve tank become empty, fill the
radiator as well as the reserve tank with
coolant.
Wipe the spilt coolant away and install the
reserve tank and radiator caps securely.
