System is under high pressure when the engine is hot. To avoid danger of releasing scalding engine coolant, remove the cap only when the engine is cool.

1. Disconnect the negative terminal (A) from the battery.

Tightening torque :
3.9 - 5.9 N.m (0.4 - 0.6 kgf.m, 2.9 - 4.3 lb-ft)




2. Remove the engine room cover (A), engine cover (B) and radiator grill upper cover (C).




3. Loosen the drain plug (A) and drain the engine coolant. Remove the radiator cap (B) to speed draining.

(4) Remove the chamber air cleaner (D) and air cleaner assembly (E).

Tightening torque
Air cleaner assembly bolts:
7.8 - 9.8N.m (0.8 - 1.0kgf.m, 5.8 - 7.2lb-ft)




5. Disconnect the radiator upper hose (A) and lower hose (B).
