Maintenance
ENGINE COOLANT
The high-pressure cooling system has
a reservoir filled with year-round anti-
freeze coolant. The reservoir is filled
at the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at
the beginning of the winter season,
and before traveling to a colder cli-
mate.
NOTICE
• Do not drive with no engine cool-
ant. It may cause water pump fail-
ure and engine seizure, etc.
• When the engine overheats from
low engine coolant, suddenly
adding engine coolant may cause
cracks in the engine. To prevent
damage, add engine coolant
slowly in small quantities.

Checking the coolant level
Check the condition and connections of
all cooling system hoses and heater hos-
es. Replace any swollen or deteriorated
hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
tween F (Full) and L (Low) marked on the
side of the coolant reservoir when the en-
gine is cool.
