Engine Coolant Level Inspection




ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [LF, L3]

WARNING:
- Remove and install all parts when the engine is cold, otherwise they can cause severe burns or serious injury.
- Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when removing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and slowly turn it counterclockwise 2.5 turns. Step back while the pressure escapes.
- When you are sure all the pressure is gone, turn the cap using the cloth, and remove it.

NOTE:
- If the "FL22" mark is shown on or near the cooling system cap, use FL22 type engine coolant.
- FL22 type engine coolant is shipped as a diluted solution (55% coolant, 45% water). Use the solution as is when replacing coolant.






1. Verify that the engine coolant level in the coolant reserve tank is between the MIN and MAX marks.

2. If the engine coolant level is below MIN mark, add engine coolant.
