Engine Oil Viscosity
The following engine oils can be used:
A = single-grade oils
B = multigrade oils
C = easy run oils
depending on the outside temperature.

Engine Oil Quality
It is important that the following API and CCMC classes are
used:


Engines Single and multigrade oils Easy run oils
Petrol API-SF/CC, SF/CD, SG/CC,
SG/CD, CCMC/G4 API-SF/CC, SF/CD, SG/CD

General Description

3 Radiator
4 Reserve Tank5 Coolant Distributor
6 Cylinder Block and Head
7 Throttle Body
8 Heater




The Cooling System is a pressurized type, where the water
pump, which is cambelt driven, forces the circulation of
the coolant through the cylinder block and head. The
thermostat regulates the flow of coolant between the
radiator and the bypass circuit. The heater is part of the
bypass circuit. The throttle body pre-heat is a separate
circuit which is not regulated by the thermostat. An oil
cooler may be fitted as part of this circuit.

Antifreeze Solution

Calculating mixing ratio
Mixing ratio

= Antifreeze solution (Lit/gal.)
Antifreeze solution (Lit/gal.) + Water (Lit/gal.)

NOTE: Antifreeze solution + Water = Total cooling system
capacity.

Total Cooling System Capacity
5.7Lit




Mixing ratio
Check the specific gravity of engine coolant in the cooling
system temperature ranges from 0C to 50C using a
suction type hydrometer, then determine the density of the
engine coolant by referring to the table.

NOTE: The LLC is 50% at all environment in order to prevent
the corrosion of cooling system parts.

6B-6 ENGINE COOLING

















Draining and Refilling Cooling
System
Before draining the cooling system, inspect the system and
perform any necessary service to ensure that it is clean, does
not leak and is in proper working order. The engine coolant
(EC) level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" lines of
reserve tank when the engine is cold. If low, check for leakage
and add EC up to the "MAX" line. There should not be any
excessive deposit of rust or scales around the radiator cap or
radiator filler hole, and the EC should also be free from oil.
Replace the EC if excessively dirty.
1. Completely drain the cooling system by opening the drain
plug at the bottom of the radiator.
2. Remove the radiator cap.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE DANGER OF BEING BURNED,
DO NOT REMOVE THE CAP WHILE THE ENGINE AND
RADIATOR ARE STILL HOT. SCALDING FLUID AND
STEAM CAN BE BLOWN OUT UNDER PRESSURE.
3. Disconnect all hoses from the EC reserve tank.
Scrub and clean the inside of the reserve tank with soap
and water. Flush it well with clean water, then drain it. Install
the reserve tank and hoses.
4. Refill the cooling system with the EC using a solution that is
at least 50 percent antifreeze.
5. Fill the radiator to the base of the filler neck.
Fill the EC reserve tank to "MAX" line when the engine is
cold.
6. Block the drive wheels and firmly apply the parking brake.
Shift an automatic transmission to "P" (Park) or a manual
transmission to neutral.
7. Remove the radiator cap. Start the engine and warm it up a
t
2,500 - 3,000 rpm for about 30 minutes.
8. When the air comes out from the radiator filler neck and the
EC level has gone down, replenish with the EC. Repeat this
procedure until the EC level does not go down. Then stop
the engine and install the radiator cap. Let the engine cool
down.
9. After the engine has cooled, replenish with EC up to the
"MAX" line of the reserve tank.
10. Start the engine. With the engine running at 3,000 rpm,
make sure there is no running water sound from the heate
r
core (behind the center console).
11. If the running water sound is heard, repeat steps 8 to 10.

Make necessary repair and parts replacement if extreme wear
or damage is found during inspection. Should any of the
following problems occur, the entire water pump assembly
must be replaced:

1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Drain engine coolant from the radiator and engine.
3. Disconnect radiator hose from the inlet pipe.
4. Remove thermostat housing.
5. Remove thermostat from thermostat housing.
Inspection
Suspend the thermostat in a water-filled container using thin
wire. Place a thermometer next to the thermostat.
Do not directly heat the thermostat.
Gradually increase the water temperature. Stir the water so
that the entire water is same temperature.
Confirm the temperature when the valve first begins to open.

silicon grease.
2. Install O-ring.
3. Install thermostat housing and tighten bolts to the specified

4. Installation rubber hose.
5. Replenish engine coolant (EC).
6. Start engine and check for EC leakage.













Fan Clutch with Cooling Fan
Inspection and Repair
Make necessary correction or parts replacement if wear,
damage or any other abnormal condition are found through
inspection.

Visually inspect for damage, leak (silicon grease) or other
abnormal conditions.
1. Inspection (on-vehicle)
1) Turn the fan clutch by hand when in a low temperature
condition before starting the engine, and confirm that it
can be turned readily.
2) Start the engine to warm it up until the temperature at the
fan clutch portion gets to around 80C. Then stop the
engine and confirm that the fan clutch can be turned with
considerable effort (clutch torque) when turned by hand.

6B-12 ENGINE COOLING


Inspection
Radiator Cap
Measure the valve opening pressure of the pressurizing valve
with a radiator filler cap tester.
Replace the cap if the valve opening pressure is outside the
standard range.
Valve opening pressure kPa (psi) 88.3 – 103.0
(13.5 – 15.7)
Cap tester: 5-8840-0277-0
Adapter: 5-8840-2603-0
Check the condition of the vacuum valve in the center of the
valve seat side of the cap. If considerable rust or dirt is found,
or if the valve seat cannot be moved by hand, clean or replace
the cap.
Valve opening vacuum kPa (psi) 1.9 - 4.9
(0.28 - 0.71)



Radiator Core
1. A bent fin may result in reduced ventilation and overheating
may occur. All bent fins must be straightened. Pay close
attention to the base of the fin when it is being straightened.
2. Remove all dust, bugs and other foreign material.
Flushing the Radiator
Thoroughly wash the inside of the radiator and the engine
coolant passages with cold water and mild detergent. Remove
all sign of scale and rust.
Cooling System Leakage Check
Use a radiator cap tester to force air into the radiator through
the filler neck at the specified pressure of 196 kPa (28.5 psi)
with a cap tester:

Leakage from the radiator

Leakage from the coolant pump

Leakage from the water hoses

Check the rubber hoses for swelling.
