3. CAUTIONS

If 100% of anti-freeze is added, the water pump vane can be damaged and thermal conductivity can

be decreased resulting in poor circulation in the cooling system which leads to overheated engine.

Use of non-recommended coolant could cause damage to the cooling system and overheating of the

engine.

Opening the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot can cause burns by hot steam or

water.

To open the coolant reservoir cap, wrap the cap with a wet towel or thick cloth after the engine is

cooled down sufficiently.

If cool water is added to the heated engine, the engine or radiator can be deformed.

The anti-freeze in the coolant can damage the painted surface, so avoid the contact of the coolant to

the painted body.

The anti-freeze and water should be mixed in proper mixture ratio. Never add only water when

adding coolant.

If the anti-freeze content is too low, the coolant can be frozen while the engine can be overheated if

anti-freeze content is too high.

Thermostat

When the engine coolant
reaches 90℃, the thermostat
starts to open (fully open at
100℃) and lets the coolant
flow to the radiator to maintain
the engine temperature.

1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1) Overview

Coolant reservoir

Long life coolant is used.

Water pump

The water pump is driven by the engine drive belt and supplies
the coolant to each area of the engine.

Oil filter module

Water pump pulley

Impeller vane

Sealing

Coolant temperature sensor

Measures the coolant
temperature and sends the
result to the engine ECU.

Electric fan

Circulates the fresh air forcibly to exchange heat
with the radiator core fin.

Radiator

Releases heat through fins and cools down the hot coolant as the
coolant passes through the tube of the radiator core.
