CAUTION
D The cooling system has been filled at the factory with a high-
quality, corrosion-inhibiting, year-around coolant which provides
protection against freezing down to –33 F (–36 C). Use the rec-
ommended coolant only. Use of improper coolants may result in
corrosion in the cooling system. It is important to maintain
protection against freezing and corrosion, even if freezing tem-
peratures are not expected. Never mix different kinds of coolant.
D Do not splash the engine coolant over painted parts. The alco-
hol contained in the engine coolant may damage the paint sur-
face.
Change the engine coolant in the following procedures according to the
maintenance schedule in the warranty and maintenance booklet.
1. Place a proper container under the drain plug and loosen the drain
plug.
2. Loosen the radiator cap to drain the coolant from the radiator. Then
drain the coolant from the reserve tank. Tighten the drain plug securely.
