3. When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add
water only up to the full level.

crankcase side and the other is at the lower part of the
radiator as figures below.

caution and securely retighten the cap.

dealer.

radiator.

recovery tank.

loose or improperly closed, coolant may leak out and
decrease quickly.

simultaneously open the radiator cap as well. With the

impossible.
2. Remove the overflow pipe of the radiator pressure cap
to drain the recovery tank.
3. Prescribed coolant volume (U.S.gallons)
Quantity

tube. If any, remove them from the fins and the tube.

scale forms in the hose, clean with the scale inhibitor
