Engine Coolant - MARUTI SUZUKI TOUR V Manual

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
After driving the vehicle, the gear oil
temperature may be high enough to
burn you. Wait until the oil filler plug
is cool enough to touch with your
bare hands before inspecting or re-
placing gear oil.
CAUTION
When tightening these plugs, apply
sealing compound to the
threads to prevent oil leakage, and
tighten them to the specified torque
shown in the diagram.

ENGINE COOLANT

EXAMPLE
Coolant Level Check
Check the coolant level at the reservoir
plug
tank, not at the radiator. With the engine
cool, the coolant level should be between
the "FULL" and "LOW" marks.
Adding Coolant
If the Coolant level is below the "LOW"
mark, more coolant should be added.
Remove the reservoir tank cap and add
coolant until the reservoir tank level
reaches the "FULL" mark. Never fill the
reserve tank above the "FULL" mark.
EXAMPLE
FULL
LOW
CAUTION
• When adding or replacing coolant,
use a high quality ethylene glycol
antifreeze diluted with distilled
water. If the lowest ambient tem-
perature in your area is expected to
be -15 0 C (5 0 F) or above, make the
antifreeze concentration of the mix-
ture you use at least 30% but no
09-77A025A
more than 50%. If –16
below, make the concentration at
least 50%. If the 50% concentration
does not provide adequate protec-
tion against freezing, follow the
instructions on the antifreeze con-
tainer to obtain the desired freezing
point.
• When putting the cap on the reser-
voir tank, line up the arrow on the
cap and the arrow on the tank, or
coolant can leak out.
