Cooling System Draining

WARNINGIf the radiator cap is removed when the engine and radiator are still hot, extremely hot fluid and steam may spew out under pressure. This can cause severe burns. Wait until the engine coolant temperature has lowered before removing the radiator cap.

  1. Insert hose (1) through service hole (3) and connect it to drain pipe (4) as shown in figure. NOTE: Use internal diameter about 8 mm, length at least 200 mm hose.
  2. Remove radiator cap.
  3. Drain coolant loosening radiator drain plug (1). NOTE: Over loosening of drain plug may cause coolant to leak from drain plug side.
  4. After draining coolant, be sure to tighten drain plug (1) securely.

Cooling System Refilling

  1. Fill reservoir (3) with coolant up to "FULL" level mark (1).
  2. Install reservoir cap (2) on reservoir (3).
  3. Fill radiator with coolant up to bottom of radiator filler neck (1) and install radiator cap. Recommended coolant SUZUKI super long life coolant (coolant color: Blue): Coolant specification Freezing temperature: -36 °C (-33 °F) Antifreeze/anti-corrosion coolant concentration: 50% Coolant capacity Engine, radiator and heater: 5.8 liters (12.26/10.21 US/lmp pt.) Reservoir: 0.8 liters (1.69/1.41 US/lmp pt.) Total: 6.6 liters (13.95/11.61 US/lmp pt.)
  4. Run engine at idle speed.
  5. Run engine until radiator fan motor is operated.
  6. Stop engine and wait until engine comes cooled down fully.
  7. Add coolant to radiator up to bottom of radiator filler neck, and install radiator cap.
  8. Repeat Step 4 ) through 7 ).
  9. Confirm that coolant level in reservoir is at "FULL" level mark. If coolant is insufficient, add coolant.
  10. Check for check cooling system for leakage, see «ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM INSPECTION»(ref-585577-S39475297722013111200000) .
