Radiator Coolant Level / Changing Coolant

The changing coolant procedure is required only if the cooling system has been drained for maintenance and/or repair. Ensure vehicle is parked on a level surface before servicing.

CAUTION
Escaping steam can cause burns. Never remove the pressure cap while the engine is warm or hot. Always allow the engine to cool before removing the pressure cap.

  1. If only needing to check coolant level, there is a view1 from driver’s side rear fender. A flashlight may be needed. The coolant level can also be viewed by removing the cargo box.

    TIP
    Ensure engine has cooled off prior to checking.

  2. To add coolant, begin by removing the access cover2 in rear of vehicle behind the driver’s seat.

  3. Slowly remove the radiator pressure cap3.

  4. Remove the pressure cap and use a funnel to add coolant as needed. Maintain the coolant level at the cold fill mark on the side of the pressure tank (only when the fluid has cooled, if after operation).

  5. Reinstall the pressure cap and the bottle access cover.

TIP
Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to function properly. Your authorized dealer can provide the correct replacement part.
TIP
If coolant must be added often, or if the pressure tank runs completely dry, there may be a leak in the system. Your authorized dealer can inspect the cooling system.
