Coolan t Checks
Check engine coolant (antifreeze) protection every 12
months (before the onset of freezing weather, where
applicable). If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the
system shou ld be drained , flushed and refilled with fresh
coolant. Check the front of the A/ C cond enser for any
accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty, clean by gently
spraying water from a gard en hose vertically down the
face of the cond enser.
