Engine Cooling System
General Description
Cooling System DescriptionS7RS0B1601001
The cooling system consists of the radiator cap, radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses, water pump, cooling fan and 
thermostat. The radiator is of tube-and-fin type.
Coolant DescriptionS7RS0B1601002
WARNING! 
• Do not remove radiator cap to check engine coolant level; check coolant visually at the see-through  coolant reservoir. Coolant should be added only to reservoir as necessary.
• As long as there is pressure in the cooling system, the temperature can be considerably higher than  the boiling temperature of the solution in the radiator without causing the solution to boil. Removal 
of the radiator cap while engine is hot and pressure is high will cause the solution to boil 
instantaneously and possibly with explosive force,  spewing the solution over engine, fenders and 
person removing cap. If the solution contains flammable anti-freeze such as alcohol (not 
recommended for use at any time), there is also the possibility of causing a serious fire.
• Check to make sure that engine coolant temperature is cold before removing any part of cooling  system.
• Also be sure to disconnect negative cable from battery terminal before removing any part.
 
The coolant recovery system is standard. The coolant in the radiator expands with heat, and the coolant is overflowed 
to the reservoir.
When the system cools down, the coolant is drawn back into the radiator.
The cooling system has be en filled with a quality coolant that is a 50/50 mixture  of water and ethylene glycol 
antifreeze.
This 50/50 mixture coolant solution  provides freezing protection to –36 °C (–33  °F).
• Maintain cooling system freeze protection at –36  °C (–33  °F) to ensure protection against corrosion and loss of 
coolant from boiling. This should be done even  if freezing temperatures are not expected.
• Add ethylene glycol base coolant when coolant has to be added because of coolant loss or to provide added  protection against freezing at temperature lower than –36  °C (–33  °F).
NOTE
• Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any 
time as damage to cooling system could occur.
• Coolant must be mixed with deminerated water or distilled water.

Coolant Level CheckS7RS0B1606002
WARNING! 
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not 
remove radiator cap while engine and 
radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam 
can be blown out under pressure if radiator 
cap is taken off too soon.
 
To check level, lift hood and look at “see-through” 
coolant reservoir.
It is not necessary to remove radiator cap to check 
coolant level.
When engine is cool, check coolant level in reservoir (1).
A normal coolant level should be between FULL mark 
(2) and LOW mark (3) on reservoir (1).
If coolant level is below LOW  mark (3), remove reservoir 
cap (4) and add proper coolant to reservoir to bring 
coolant level up to FULL mark (2).
NOTE
If proper quality antifreeze is used, there is 
no need to add extra inhibitors or additives 
that claim to improve system. They may be 
harmful to proper operation of system, and 
are unnecessary expense.

WARNING! 
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not 
remove radiator cap while engine and 
radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam 
can be blown out under pressure if cap is 
taken off too soon.
 
1) Check cooling system for leakage or damage.
2) Wash radiator cap and fille r neck with clean water by 
removing radiator cap when engine is cold.
3) Check coolant for proper level and freeze protection.
4) Using a pressure tester (1), check system and  radiator cap (2) for proper pressure holding capacity.

for this vehicle.
NOTE
After installing radiator cap to radiator, make 
sure that the ear of cap lines is parallel to 
radiator.

WARNING! 
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not 
remove radiator cap while engine and 
radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam 
can be blown out under pressure if cap is 
taken off too soon.
 
NOTE
For detail of coolant specification, refer to 
“Coolant Description”.
 
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool as follows.a) Turn cap counterclockwise slowly until it reaches  a “stop” (Do not press down while turning it).
b) Wait until pressure is relieved (indicated by a  hissing sound) then press down on cap and 
continue to turn it counterclockwise.
2) With radiator cap removed, run engine until upper  radiator hose is hot (this shows that thermostat is 
open and coolant is flowing through system).
3) Stop engine and drain coolant from radiator drain  plug (1).
4) Close radiator drain plug. Add water until system is  filled and run engine until up per radiator hose is hot 
again.
5) Repeat Steps 3) and 4) several times until drained  liquid is nearly colorless.
6) Close radiator drain plug (1) tightly. 7) Remove reservoir (1) and remove cap (2) from 
reservoir (1).
8) Pour out any fluid, scrub and clean inside of  reservoir with soap and water.
Flush it well with clean water and drain, Reinstall 
reservoir.
9) Fill reservoir with coolant up  to “Full” level mark (3).
10) Install reservoir cap (2) on reservoir. 11) Fill radiator with coolant up to bottom of radiator filler  neck and install radiator cap, making sure that the 
ear of cap lines is parallel to radiator.
12) Run engine at idle speed.
13) Run engine until radiator fan motor is operated.
14) Stop engine and wait until engine comes cooled  down to help avoid danger of being burned.
15) Add coolant to radiator up  to bottom of radiator filler 
neck, and install radiator ca p, making sure that the 
ear of cap lines is parallel to radiator.
16) Repeat Step 12) through 15).
17) Confirm that reservoir cool ant level is “Full” level 
mark (3). If coolant is insu fficient, repeat Step 9) and 
10).

seating tight.
• Check thermostat seal (3) for breakage, deterioration  or any other damage.
• Check thermostatic movement of wax pellet as  follows:
a. Immerse thermostat (1) in water, and heat water  gradually.
b. Check that valve starts to open at specific  temperature.
Temperature at which valve begins to open
80 – 84  °C (176 – 183  °F)
Temperature at which valve become fully open
95 – 97  °C (203  °F)
Va l v e  l i ft
More than 8 mm at 95  °C (203 ° F)
If valve starts to open at a temperature substantially 
below or above specific temperature, thermostat unit 
should be replaced with a new one. Such a unit, if 
reused, will bring about ov ercooling or overheating 
tendency.
