Refilling

First clean system to remove old coolant.
Fill the system, using the correct antifreeze as described. Fill the system to 50 percent of its capacity with 100 percent glycol. Then complete filling system with water. The 2.4L engine requires venting by removal of the coolant sensor on top of the water outlet connector. When coolant reaches this hole:
- Install coolant sensor and tighten to 7 Nm (60 inch lbs.) for 2.4L Engines.
Continue filling system until full, this provides better heater performance. Be careful not to spill coolant on drive belts or the generator.
Fill coolant reserve system to at least the MAX mark with 50/50 solution. It may be necessary to add coolant to the reserve tank after three or four warm up/cool down cycles to maintain coolant level between the MAX and MIN mark. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the system.
