Chapter 3 OPERATION
Coolant level - Check
Remove the radiator cap only after the engine has
cooled to room temperature. Place a waste cloth
over the cap, and loosen the cap about a half-turn or
stand the lever to the upright position to release inter-
nal pressure. Opening the radiator cap while the
engine is hot causes steam and hot coolant to spray
out and may result in skin burns.
1. Open the radiator cap and check the coolant level.
2. If the coolant level is low, add coolant to the speci-
fied level.
Always use the coolant with the same LLC concen-
tration.
Note: Determine the quantities of LLC based on the
coolant capacity and the LLC concentration
chart.
For the coolant, refer to
the coolant capacity, refer to
CATIONS"
(12-1).
3. If a reserve tank is equipped, fill the reserve tank
with coolant up to the [FULL] line level.
