CHECKING THE ENGINE
COOLANT LEVEL
“FULL” line
“LOW” line
Look at the see-through coolant reservoir tank. The
coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” and
“LOW” lines on the tank. If the level is low, add
ethylene-glycol type coolant.
The coolant level in the reservoir tank will vary with engine
temperature. However, if the level is on or below the “LOW”
line, add coolant to bring the level up to the “FULL” line.
Use only ethylene-glycol type coolant. For information on
ethylene-glycol coolant, see also “Coolant type selection” on
page 170.
If the coolant level drops within a short time after replenishing,
there may be a leak in the system. Visually check the radiator,
hoses, radiator cap, drain cocks, and water pump.
