4. Loosen the radiator drain plug and drain the
engine coolant into a container.
5. Flush the cooling system with water until all traces
of color are gone.
6. Let the system drain completely.
7. Tighten the radiator drain plug.

8. Referring to the following chart, select the correct PLUG
volume percentage of the water and coolant.

9. Refill the coolant from the cooling system filler neck until it is close to the top of the cooling system filler neck.
10. Refill the coolant into the coolant reserve tank up to the F mark on the tank.
11. Install the cooling system cap.
Caution
• If the water temperature gauge rises too high, stop the engine and decrease the water temperature
to prevent overheating. Then, verify the malfunctioning part and repair or replace it.
12. Start the engine and warm up the engine by idling.
13. After the engine warms up, perform the following steps. At this time, be careful of the coolant temperature to
prevent overheating.
(1) Run the engine at approx. 2,500 rpm for 5 min.
(2) Run the engine at approx. 3,000 rpm for 5 s, then idle.
(3) Repeat step (2) 4-5 times.
14. Stop the engine, and inspect the coolant level after the coolant temperature decreases. If it is low, repeat steps
10-14.
15. Inspect for coolant leakage. (See 01-128-5 ENGINE COOLANT LEAKAGE INSPECTION [WL-C, WE-C].)
• If the coolant leaks, specify the malfunctioning part and repair or replace it.
