Turn the radiator cap counterclock-
wise without pressing down on it,
until it stops. This relieves any pres-
sure remaining in the cooling sys-
tem. And remove the radiator cap
by pushing down and turning coun-
terclockwise.
Fill the radiator with clean deminer-
alized or distilled water. Continue
to add clean demineralized or dis-
tilled water in small quantities until
the fluid level stays up in the radia-
tor neck.
5. Start the engine, top off the radia-
tor with water and then add engine
coolant to the reservoir until the
level is between "L" and "F".
6. Replace the radiator and reservoir
caps and check to be sure the
drain cocks are fully closed and not
leaking.

Park the car on level ground, set
the park-ing brake and remove the
radiator cap when cool.
Be sure your drain receptacle is in
place. Open the drain cock on the
radiator. Allow all the engine cool-
ant to drain from the cooling sys-
tem, then securely close the drain
cock.

Check Section 9 for the capacity of
the cooling system in your car.
Then, following the manufacturer's
directions on the engine coolant
container, add the appropriate
quantity of coolant to the radiator.
