Make sure the engine and radiator
are cool.

When the radiator and engine are
cool, relieve any pressure in the
cooling system by turning the
radiator cap counterclockwise,
without pressing down.

Remove the radiator cap by
pushing down and turning
counterclockwise.

The coolant level should be up to
the base of the filler neck. Add
coolant if it is low.

Pour the coolant slowly and
carefully so you do not spill any.
Clean up any spill immediately; it
could damage components in the
engine compartment.

Put the radiator cap back on, and
tighten it fully.

Pour coolant into the reserve tank.
Fill it to halfway between the MAX
and MIN marks. Put the cap back
on the reserve tank.

Do not add any rust inhibitors or
other additives to your vehicle’s
cooling system. They may not be
compatible with the coolant or
engine components.

Check the fluid level in the
windshield washer reservoir at least
monthly during normal use.

Fill the reservoir with a good-quality
windshield washer fluid. This
increases the cleaning capability and
prevents freezing in cold weather.

The washer level indicator will come
on when the level is low (see page

).

If the washer fluid is low, a
‘‘WASHER FLUID LOW’’ message
appears on the multi-information
display.

When you refill the reservoir, clean
the edges of the windshield wiper
blades with windshield washer fluid
on a clean cloth. This will help to
condition them.
