instructions of the coolant
manufacturer.

radiator cap off. Slowly add
additional coolant if necessary.

Depress the accelerator two or three
times; then add coolant if required. Be
careful not to burn yourself.

7. Install the radiator cap. Inspect all

connections for leaks and recheck the
coolant level in the reservoir.
Recheck again after a few days of
driving and add coolant as necessary.
