6B-2 ENGINE COOLING
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The cooling system consists of the radiator cap, radiator, coolant reservoir tank, hoses, water pump, cooling fan
and thermostat. The radiator is of tube-and-fin type.
COOLING SYSTEM CIRCULATION
While the engine is warmed up (thermostat closed), coolant circulates as follows.
When coolant is warmed up to normal temperature and the thermostat opens, coolant passes through the radi-
ator core to be cooled as well as the above flow circuit.
1. Radiator inlet hose 5. Water pump 9. Heater outlet hose
2. Radiator outlet hose 6. Throttle body (Fast idle control plunger) 10. Radiator
3. Water inlet pipe 7. Engine
4. Thermostat 8. Heater inlet hose

ENGINE COOLING 6B-3
COOLANT
The coolant recovery system is standard. The coolant in the radiator expands with heat, and the overflow is col-
lected in the reservoir.
When the system cools down, the coolant is drawn back into the radiator.
The cooling system has been filled at the factory with a quality coolant that is a 50/50 mixture of water and eth-
ylene glycol antifreeze (70/30; in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated).
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).
Anti-freeze proportioning table
Coolant capacity 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.
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze/Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corro-
sion protection and lubrication.

MAINTENANCE
COOLANT LEVEL CHECK
To check level, lift hood and look at “see-through” coolant reser-
voir tank.
It is not necessary to remove radiator cap to check coolant level.
When engine is cool, check coolant level in reservoir tank (1).
A normal coolant level should be between FULL mark (2) and
LOW mark (3) on reservoir tank (1).
If coolant level is below LOW mark (3), remove reservoir tank cap
(4) and add proper coolant to tank to bring coolant level up to
FULL mark (2). Then, reinstall cap (4) and align match marks (5)
on tank and cap (4). 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 recom-
mended for use at any time), there is also the possibility of causing a serious fire.
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned :
do not remove reservoir tank cap while coolant is boil-
ing, and
do not remove radiator cap while engine and radiator
are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pres-
sure if either cap is taken off too soon.
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.
When installing reservoir cap, align arrow marks on
reservoir and cap.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM INSPECTION
AND SERVICE
1) Check cooling system for leakage or damage.
2) Wash radiator cap and filler neck with clean water by remov-
ing 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.
If replacement of cap is required, use a proper cap for this
vehicle.
Cooling system and radiator cap holding pressure (for
inspection)
: 110 kPa (1.1 kg/cm
2, 15.6 psi)
5) Tighten hose clamps and inspect all hoses. Replace hoses
whenever cracked, swollen or otherwise deteriorated.
6) Clean frontal area of radiator core.
COOLING SYSTEM FLUSH AND REFILL
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool.
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). 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 pres-
sure if cap is taken off too soon.
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 pres-
sure if cap is taken off too soon.

3) Stop engine and drain coolant.
4) Close drain plug. Add water until system is filled and run
engine until upper radiator hose is hot again.
5) Repeat Steps 3) and 4) several times until drained liquid is
nearly colorless.
6) Drain system and then close radiator drain plug (1) tightly.
7) Remove reservoir tank (1) and remove cap (2) from reservoir
tank (1) and pour out any fluid, scrub and clean inside of
tank with soap and water.
Flush it well with clean water and drain. Reinstall tank.
8) Add coolant that is a mixture of good quality ethylene glycol
antifreeze and water to radiator and reservoir tank. For cool-
ant concentration referring to “COOLANT”.
Fill radiator to the bottom of filler neck and reservoir tank to
FULL level mark (3).
9) Reinstall reservoir tank cap and align match marks (4) on
reservoir tank and its tank cap.
10) Run engine with radiator cap removed, until radiator inlet
hose is hot.
11) With engine idling, add coolant to radiator until level reaches
the bottom of filler neck. Install radiator cap, making sure
that the ear of cap lines is parallel to radiator.
