Cooling System Bleeding

WARNING: When engine is operating, NEVER remove radiator cap under any conditions. Failure to follow instruction may damage cooling system or engine, or cause personal injury. Always wrap protective material around radiator cap to avoid injury from hot coolant.
  1. To bleed trapped air from cooling system, disconnect heater hose from water pump. Using 50/50 mixture of coolant and water, fill radiator until coolant flows from heater hose fitting at water pump. Reconnect heater hose.
  2. Fill radiator until coolant is 1.5" (38 mm) below radiator cap seal. Install radiator cap. Run engine until warm. Turn engine off. Carefully remove radiator cap and check level. Fill as necessary.
