Checking the level and replacing the coolant

The procedures for checking the level and replacing the coolant are described in the chapter "Maintenance and general inspection and adjustment procedures".

Checking for Coolant Leaks

1. Check the coolant level.

2. Remove the radiator cap.

3. Attach a cooling system leak tester to the radiator filler neck.

Caution: Wait until the pressure in the cooling system has dropped to zero before removing the radiator cap or cooling system leak tester.

4. Pressurize the radiator.

Note: pressurizing the cooling system above 122 kPa (1.25 kg/cm²) may damage parts of the cooling system and cause coolant leaks.

• Pressure - 122 kPa

5. Make sure the pressure does not drop. If the pressure drops, check the system for leaks.
