To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
2. Remove panel A. (See page 7-8.)
NOTE:
● The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.

tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.
3. Check the coolant level in the cool-
ant reservoir.
NOTE:
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
