546) Add coolant to reservoir so that its level aligns with Full mark.
Then, reinstall cap aligning arrow marks on reservoir and cap.
NOTE:
When installing reservoir cap, align arrow marks on reser-
voir and cap.
CAUTION:
When changing engine coolant, use mixture of 50% wa-
ter and 50% ANTIFREEZE / ANTICORROSION COOLANT
for the market where ambient temperature falls lower
than ±16C (3F) in winter, and mixture of 70% water and
30% ANTIFREEZE / ANTICORROSION COOLANT for the
market where ambient temperature doesn't fall lower
than ±16C (3F).
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is antici-
pated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ANTIFREEZE / AN-
TICORROSION COOLANT should be used for the pur-
pose of corrosion protection and lubrication.
ITEM 1-6
Exhaust System Inspection
WARING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not touch exhaust sys-
tem when it is still hot. Any service on exhaust system
should be performed when it is cool.
When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the vehicle is raised for
other service, check exhaust system as follows:

Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out of
position.

Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connections, dents and
damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to specification.

Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing, or misposi-
tioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections or other de-
fects which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the vehicle.

Make sure that exhaust system components have enough clear-
ance from the underbody to avoid overheating and possible dam-
age to the floor carpet.

Any defects should be fixed at once.
