INSPECTION
1) Remove the radiator cap (for Non-turbo model) or the coolant filler tank cap (for turbo model), and fill the engine coolant, and then install the tester (A) to the installation position of cap.
^ Non-turbo model
^ Turbo model
2) Apply the following pressure to the radiator and check the following items.
CAUTION:
^ Inspection must be carried out at the side of coolant filler tank, not at the side of radiator. (Turbo model)
^ Engine should be turned off.
^ Wipe engine coolant from checkpoints in advance.
^ Be careful to prevent engine coolant from spurting out when removing tester.
^ Be careful not to deform the filler neck of radiator when installing and removing the tester.
