Check that the hoses are securely connected and clips
are beyond the raised rib of the pipe.

Route the hoses according to Cable, Wire, and Hose

flattening or twisting, and route these hoses with a mini-
mum of bending so that the emission flow will not be ob-
structed.
Cooling System
Radiator Hose and Connection Inspection
○
The high pressure inside the radiator hose can cause
coolant to leak [A] or the hose to burst if the line is not
properly maintained. Visually inspect the hoses for signs
of deterioration. Squeeze the hoses. A hose s hould not
be hard and brittle, nor should it be soft or swollen.
Replace the hose if any fraying, cracks [B] or bulges [C]
are noticed.
•
Check t hat the hoses are securely connected and clamps
are tightened correctly.

Coolant Change
WARNING
To avoid burns, do not remove the radiator cap or
try to change the coolant when the engine is still
hot. Wait until it cools down.
Coolant on tires will make them slippery, and can
cause an accident and injury.
Since coolant is harmful to the human body, do not
use for drinking.
