Replacement And Air
Bleeding |
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine
is hot. Serious scalding could be caused by hot fluid under high
pressure escaping from the
radiator. |
When pouring engine coolant, be sure to shut
the relay box lid and not to let coolant spill on the electrical
parts or the paint. If any coolant spills, rinse it off
immediately. |
1. |
Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to
the touch. |
3. |
Loosen the drain plug, and drain the
coolant |
4. |
Tighten the radiator drain plug
securely. |
5. |
After draining engine coolant in the reservoir
tank, clean the tank. |
6. |
Fill the radiator with water through the
radiator cap and tighten the cap.
Pressure can blow water back out the
radiator cap-pour water slowly while intermittently squeezing
the radiator
hoses. | |
7. |
After warming up the engine until the cooling
fan operates several times, accelerate it at
idle. |
8. |
Wait until the engine is
cool. |
9. |
Repeat the step 1 to 8 until the drained water
is clean. |
10. |
Fill fluid mixture with coolant and water(5 :
5) (Tropical region – 4:6) slowly through the radiator cap. Push the
upper/lower hoses of the radiator so as bleed air
easily.
•
|
Use only genuine
antifreeze/coolant. |
•
|
For best corrosion protection, the
coolant concentration must be maintained year-round at
35% minimum.
Coolant concentrations less than
35% may not provide sufficient protection against
corrosion or freezing. |
•
|
Coolant concentrations greater
then 60% will impair cooling efficiency and are not
recommended. | |
•
|
Do not mix different brands of
antifreeze/coolants. |
•
|
Do not use additional rust
inhibitors or antirust products; they may not be
compatible with the
coolant. | | |
11. |
Start the engine and run coolant
circulates.
When the cooling fan operates and coolant
circulates, refill coolant through the radiator
cap. |
12. |
Repeat 11 until the cooling fan 3 ~ 5times and
bleed air sufficiently out of the cooling
system. |
13. |
Install the radiator cap and fill the
reservoir tank to the "MAX" line with
coolant. |
14. |
Run the vehicle under idle until the cooling
fan operates 2 ~ 3 times. |
15. |
Stop the engine and wait coolant to
cool. |
16. |
Repeat step.10 to step.15 until the coolant
level doesn't fall any more, bleed air out of the cooling
system
As it is to bleed air out to the cooling
system and refill coolant when coolant gets cool completely,
recheck the coolant level in the reservoir tank for 2 ~ 3 days
after replacing coolant. |
