Coolant Level Check




Coolant Level Check

WARNING:

If the radiator cap is removed when the engine and radiator are still hot, extremely hot fluid and steam may spew out under pressure. This can cause severe burns.

Wait until the engine coolant temperature has lowered before removing the radiator cap.

When engine is cool, check coolant level in reservoir (1).

Normal coolant level should be between FULL mark (2) and LOW mark (3) on reservoir (1).

If coolant level is below LOW mark (3), remove reservoir cap (4) and add proper coolant to reservoir to bring coolant level up to FULL mark (2).

It is not necessary to remove radiator cap to check coolant level.
