Checking the
Engine-Coolant Level
The capacity of the cooling system is approximately
4.6 L (4.9 US qt).
Fill the cooling system with a 50/50 solution of water
and permanent ethylene glycol antifreeze. Check
the level of the coolant at the beginning of each day
before starting the engine.

pressurized, hot coolant can escape and
cause burns.

engine is running.
• Use a rag when opening the radiator cap,
and open the cap slowly to allow steam to
