| Replacement And Air
Bleeding |
|
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine
is hot. Serious scalding could be caused by hot fluid under high
pressure escaping from the
radiator. |
|
When pouring engine coolant, be sure to shut
the relay box lid and not to let coolant spill on the electrical
parts or the paint. If any coolant spills, rinse it off
immediately. |
| 1. |
Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to
the touch. |
| 2. |
Remove the radiator cap (A).
|
| 3. |
Remove the under
cover. |
| 4. |
Loosen the drain plug (A), and drain the
coolant.
|
| 5. |
Tighten the radiator drain plug
securely. |
| 6. |
After draining engine coolant in the reservoir
tank, clean the tank. |
| 7. |
Fill the radiator with water through the
radiator cap and tighten the cap.
|
To most effectively bleed the air, pour
the water slowly and press on the upper/lower radiator
hoses. | |
| 8. |
Start the engine and allow to come to normal
operating temperature. Wait for the cooling fans to turn on several
times. Accelerate the engine to aid in purging trapped air. Shut
engine off. |
| 9. |
Wait until the engine is cool.
|
| 10. |
Repeat steps 1 to 8 until the drained water
runs clear. |
| 11. |
Fill fluid mixture with coolant and water
(55~60%) (except for North America, Europe and China : 45~50%)
slowly through the radiator cap.
Push the upper/lower hoses of the radiator so
as bleed air easily.
| •
|
Use only genuine
antifreeze/coolant. |
| •
|
For best corrosion protection, the
coolant concentration must be maintained year-round at
55% (except for North America, Europe and China : 45%)
minimum.
Coolant concentrations less than
55% (except for North America, Europe and China : 45%)
may not provide sufficient protection against corrosion
or freezing. |
| •
|
Coolant concentrations greater
then 60% will impair cooling efficiency and are not
recommended. | |
| •
|
Do not mix different brands of
antifreeze/coolants. |
| •
|
Do not use additional rust
inhibitors or antirust products; they may not be
compatible with the
coolant. | | |
| 12. |
Start the engine and run until coolant
circulates.
When the cooling fan operates and coolant
circulates, refill coolant through the radiator cap.
|
| 13. |
Repeat step.11 until the cooling fan 3 ~
5times and bleed air sufficiently out of the cooling
system. |
| 14. |
Install the radiator cap and fill the
reservoir tank to the "MAX" (or "F") line with coolant.
|
| 15. |
Run the vehicle under idle until the cooling
fan operates 2 ~ 3 times. |
| 16. |
Stop the engine and wait coolant gets cool.
|
| 17. |
Repeat 10 to 15 until the coolant level
doesn't fall any more, bleed air out of the cooling
system.
|
It takes time to bleed out all the air
in the cooling system. Refill coolant when coolant gets cool
completely, when recheck the coolant level in the reservoir
tank for 2~3 days after replacing
coolant. |
