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. Clean
up any spills immediately; spilled
coolant could damage components
in the engine compartment.

Put the radiator cap on, and
tighten it fully.

Pour coolant into the reserve tank.
Fill it to halfway between the MAX
and MIN marks. Put the cap 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 with the engine
at normal operating temperature.

Park the vehicle on level ground.
Shut off the engine.

Remove the dipstick (yellow loop)
from the transmission, and wipe it
with a clean cloth.

Insert the dipstick all the way into
the transmission securely.

Remove the dipstick and check
the fluid level. It should be
between the upper and lower
marks.

If the level is below the lower
mark, add fluid into the filler hole
to bring it to the upper mark.
