MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

Radiator Coolant Level

Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals out-

lined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 60. Do not

obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiator by installing unautho-

rized accessories in front of the radiator or behind the cooling fan. Inter-

ference with the radiator air flow can lead to overheating and

consequentially, engine damage.

1. Lift the hood.
2. Slowly remove the radiator cap.
3. View the coolant level through the open-

ing.

4. Use a funnel and slowly add coolant as

needed.

NOTE:

This procedure is required only if the

cooling system has been drained for

maintenance and/or repair. But if the

overflow bottle has run dry, the level in

the radiator should also be inspected.

NOTE:

Use of a non-standard pressure cap will

not allow the recovery system to function

properly. See your dealer for the correct

replacement part.

WARNING

Escaping steam can cause severe burns. Never remove the pressure cap

while the engine is warm or hot. Always allow the engine to cool before

removing the pressure cap.
