Check the coolant level in the radiator and in the
expansion tank.
Note:
The radiator should be filled to the top of
the filler neck and the expansion tank filled to
the Full mark on the tank
5.
If the coolant level is low, remove the
expansion-tank cap and the radiator cap, and
fill the expansion tank to the Full mark and the
radiator to the top of the filler neck
Important:
Do not overfill the expansion
tank.
Important:
Do not use water only or an
alcohol/methanol-based coolant.
