3. INSPECTING AND CHANGING COOLANT
ENGINE COOLANT INSPECTION
AND CHANGE
(1) Inspection
Open the radiator cap and check
that the radiator is filled with cool-
ant up to its filler inlet. If the coolant
amount is insufficient, add more
coolant.
►
Do not open the cap when the
engine is hot. Otherwise, hot
steam can burn you seriously.
Wait until the engine is suffi-
ciently cooled down.

WARNING
(3) Antifreeze
If coolant freezes, the engine can be
damaged.
Clean the radiator thoroughly
before adding antifreeze.
The mixture ratio of antifreeze is
different by manufacturers and
temperature. Refer to the manu-
facturer's manual.
Mix antifreeze with water suffi-
ciently before adding it.
Adding antifreeze
If evaporated - Add water for the
reduced amount.
If leaked - Add mixture of anti-
freeze and water with the same
mixture ratio.
