2. On models with DOHC engines remove the lower protective plate of the engine.
3. Install the corresponding container under connection of the lower hose of a radiator, then weaken a collar and remove the lower hose from a radiator. If the hose densely sits on a radiator branch pipe, pull and at the same time turn it. Merge cooling liquid in a container.
4. The block of cylinders of the engine has no stopper of discharge of cooling liquid therefore a part of cooling liquid will remain in the cooling system.
5. If cooling liquid is strongly polluted, wash out the cooling system. As невозмож but to merge cooling liquid completely from the cooling system therefore it is recommended to wash out every time at plum of cooling liquid the cooling system.
