    G00521609
    5. CAUTION: Anti-freeze concentration must be maintained at 50%.
    CAUTION: Be prepared to collect escaping fluids.
  5. Fill the coolant expansion tank until coolant appears through the bleed ports.

  6. Refer to: Air Cleaner Outlet Pipe T-Connector .
    7. CAUTION: Be prepared to collect escaping fluids.
    NOTE: Some variation in the illustrations may occur, but the essential information is always correct.

  9. Set the heater controls to maximum.
  10. Start the engine and continue to fill the coolant until the maximum level is reached.
  11. Increase the engine speed to 2000 rpm.
  12. Check if the front heater is warm after 2 minutes, if warm proceed to step 14.
  13. If not, turn the engine off for 10 seconds and then start the engine and return to step 11.
  14. Once the front heater is warm, check if the rear heater is warm (if equipped). If no heat is felt, increase the engine speed to 3000 rpm for 30 seconds and return to idle.
  15. Once heat is felt at the rear heater, continue filling with coolant until the level stops dropping and top up to 65mm below rim (to top rib on back of the coolant expansion tank).
    16. CAUTION: Correct installation of the Coolant expansion tank cap can be obtained by tightening the cap until an audible click is heard.
  16. See figure
    GJ0012956
  17. Switch the heater off.
  18. Raise the engine speed to 2000 RPM for eight minutes.
    19. CAUTION: Switch off the engine and allow the coolant temperature to go cold.
  19. Switch the engine off and allow to cool.
  20. Visually check the engine and cooling system for signs of coolant leakage.
    21. WARNING: When releasing the cooling system pressure, cover the coolant expansion tank cap with a thick cloth.
    CAUTION: Since injury such as scalding could be caused by escaping steam or coolant, make sure the vehicle cooling system is cool prior to carrying out this procedure
    CAUTION: Make sure the coolant level remains above the "COLD FILL RANGE" lower level mark.
    NOTE: When the cooling system is warm, the coolant will be approximately 10mm above the upper level mark on the expansion tank with the cap removed.
  21. Check and top-up the coolant if required.
