Engine Coolant Refilling and Bleeding
CAUTION: when pouring engine coolant, be sure to
shut the relay box lid and not to lst coolant spill on the
eleqtrical parts or the paint. lf any coolant spills, rinse it
off immediately.
1. Slide the heater temperature control lever to maxl-
mum heat. Make sure the engine and radiator are
cool to the touch.
Remove the radiator caP.
Loosen the drain plug, and drain the coolant'
Remove the drain bolt from the cylinder block'
