ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT
On some vehicles, several accessories may
be driven from multiple groove crankshaft pulley,
and the replacement of any one inside drive belt
will make it necessary to remove all the outside
belts first.
NOTE: Instructions for replacing power steer
ing drive belt are given in "POWER STEERING"
The cooling system capacities listed in "Anti-Freeze Chart" and Model Capacity
Chart" below apply to vehicles with standard equipment only. Because of some optional
equipment which may be used, such as engine oil cooler, air conditioning, larger engine,
water filter, increased cooling, etc., the capacity of cooling system will vary. For the
purpose of obtaining an accurate cooling system capacity before adding anti-freeze to an
optional equipped vehicle, it is recommended that the cooling system be first replenished
until visible in filler opening and then drained into a graduated container of which the
contents can be measured.
Refer to "Anti-Freeze Solutions" under "Cold Weather Operation" in this section.
