Engine Coolant Refilling and Bleeding
CAUTION: When pouring engine coolant, be sure to
shut the relay box lid and not let coolant spill on the
electrical parts or the paint. If any coolant spills, rinse it
off immediately.
NOTE:
• Perform this maintenance when the engine is cool.
• Before replacing the coolant, turn the ignition ON,
slowly turn the climate control temperature knob to
90° and turn off the ignition. This will allow the
coolant in the heater to drain out with the rest of the
system.
