Checking Coolant
1. Verify that the engine and intercooler are no
longer hot.
2. Place a cloth to absorb possible coolant loss under
the driver's side bleeder valve (A).
3. Loosen, but do not completely unscrew the bleeder
valve to check for coolant in the system.
4. Tighten the bleeder valve if there is coolant flowing
out of the bleeder valve.
5. If there is no coolant flowing out of the bleeder
valve, there could be a leak in the system. Tighten
the bleeder valve and contact your dealer/retailer
for service.
Engine Coolant
The cooling system in the vehicle is filled with

to remain in the vehicle for five years or 240 000 km
(150,000 miles), whichever occurs first.
The following explains the cooling system and how
to check and add coolant when it is low. If there is
a problem with engine overheating, see Engine
