Coolant Level; Cooling System Service - Suzuki Jimny Service Manual

Coolant Level

WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned:
• Do not remove reservoir cap while coolant is "boiling",
and
• Do not remove radiator cap while engine and radiator
are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pres-
sure if either cap is taken off too soon.
To check level, look at "see-through" reservoir.
It is not necessary to remove radiator cap to check coolant level.
When engine is cool, check coolant level in reservoir (1).
A normal coolant level should be between "FULL" (2) and "LOW"
(3) marks on reservoir (1).
If coolant level is below "LOW" mark, remove reservoir cap and
add proper coolant to reservoir to bring coolant level up to "FULL"
mark. Then, reinstall cap.
NOTE:
• If proper quality antifreeze is used, there is no need to
add extra inhibitors or additives that claim to improve
system. They may be harmful to proper operation of
system.
• When installing reservoir cap, set arrow marks (4) on
the reservoir and cap as the figure.
