Replacing Engine Coolant
The cooling system should be com-
pletely drained and refilled with new
coolant according to the time and
distance recommendations in the
maintenance schedule. Only use
recommended antifreeze.
Replacing the coolant requires
special tools and access from under-
neath the car. Unless you have the
tools and knowledge, you should
have this maintenance done by a
skilled mechanic.
Before replacing the coolant, turn the
ignition ON (II), slowly turn the
climate control temperature dial to
90° F (32° C) and turn off the ignition.
This will allow the coolant in the
heater to drain out with the rest of
the system.
Cooling System
To replace the coolant:
1. Open the hood, the rear window,
and engine cover.
2. Remove the cover protecting the
coolant pipes and shift linkage on
the underside of the car.
