Motor Coolant — Checking and Refilling
Motor Coolant — Checking and Refilling
!
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurized – do not remove the lid on
the radiator with the motor running or if the motor is hot.
Pressure in the cooling system can cause injury as steam/
scalding water can spray out when the lid is opened.
The level of the coolant can be read without removing the lid.
If the level is lower than the minimum range line, add more
coolant.
The coolant must be a 50/50 mixture of distilled water and
coolant. The level in the coolant reservoir should be measured
when the motor is cold. (A lesser concentrate of coolant and
pure water can be used, but contact your dealer immediately
for draining and relling with the correct concentration.)
A 50% concentration of coolant will protect the motor at
temperatures down to -34º F. It also prevents corrosion damage
to the motor and cooling system.
If the cooling system repeatedly needs lling, there may be a
problem; contact your dealer.
THINK City comes from the factory with prediluted All Vehicle
50/50 antifreeze/coolant from Prime®. Rell with the same
brand.
To rell the coolant:
1. Turn o the motor and let it cool down.
2. Place a piece of thick cloth over the coolant reservoir cap
and turn carefully counterclockwise (le). Carefully release
the steam and pressure before opening all the way.
3. When the pressure is fully released, unscrew the cap using
the cloth since steam and heat can still spray out.
4. Fill the reservoir slowly with the correct mixture (50/50) up
to the MAX line.
5. Screw the lid tight to prevent uid leaking out.
If you are uncertain if the coolant mixture is the right
concentration, it can be measured with a coolant gauge; contact
your dealer.
