The coolant level can be seen on the side of the
plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the cool-
ant should be between the "LOW" and "FULL"
lines on the reservoir when the engine is cool.
If the level is below the "LOW" mark, add
engine coolant to bring it up between "LOW"
and "FULL". If the level is low, inspect for
coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level fre-

2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place.
Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allow
all the engine coolant to drain from the
cooling sys-tem, then securely close the
drain cock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the
cooling system in your car. Then, following
the manufacturer's directions on the engine

coolant container, add the appropriate quan-
tity of engine coolant to the radiator. Now fill
the radia-tor with clean demineralized or
distilled water. Continue to add demineral-
ized or distilled water in small quantities
until the fluid level stays up in the radiator
neck.
4. Start the engine, top off the radiator with
water and then add engine coolant to the
reservoir until the level is between "LOW"
and "FULL".
5. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and
