The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric
conditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent
maintenance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

Changing Engine Coolant

WARNING:
To avoid being scalded, never change the engine coolant
when the engine is hot.
— DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT —
1. Turn the ignition switch from “OFF” to “ON” and make sure that
the A/C display indicates “32”. Then turn ignition switch to
“OFF” for models with AUTO air conditioner.
Turn the temperature control knob to full hot position for mod-
els with MANUAL air conditioner.

2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and remove

reservoir tank cap (with valve) to drain.
I Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive
belts.

SMA117DA

3. Remove cylinder block drain plug to drain.

4. Remove reservoir tanks to drain and clean.
5. If drained coolant is contaminated, flush the cooling system.
Refer to MA-14, “Flushing Cooling System”.

10. Fill reservoir tank (open air side) with engine coolant up to
“MAX” level and then install cap.
11. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature. TF
12. Run engine at 2,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle
speed.
I Repeat 2 or 3 times. PD
Watch engine coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat
the engine.
13. Stop engine and cool it down. FA
I Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.

14. Remove the reservoir tank filler cap (pressure side) and check
engine coolant level.
I If necessary, refill reservoir tank (pressure side) up to filler neck BR
with engine coolant.
15. Refill reservoir tank (open air side) to Max line with engine
coolant. ST
16. Repeat step 11 through step 15 two or more times.
17. Warm up engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow
while running engine from idle up to 2,000 rpm with heater RS
temperature control set at several positions between COOL
and HOT.

I Sound may be noticeable at heater water cock. BT
18. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating
steps 11 through 17 until coolant level no longer drops.
I Clean excess engine coolant from engine.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE TD42Ti
Changing Engine Coolant (Cont’d)
— FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM —
1. Close drain plugs.
2. Install reservoir tanks.
3. Fill radiator and reservoir tank (pressure side) with water and
close radiator cap and reservoir tank cap (with valve).
4. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Rev engine 2 or 3 times under no-load.
6. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Drain water.
8. Repeat step 1 through step 7 until clear water begins to drain
from radiator.
