COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS

WARNING:

ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION

WARNING:

NOTE:

Mazda 2. ENGINE COOLANT

1. Remove the cooling system cap.

2. Verify that the engine coolant is filled close to the top of the radiator filler neck.

3. Verify that the engine coolant level in the coolant reserve tank is between the FULL and LOW marks.

ENGINE COOLANT REPLACEMENT

WARNING:

CAUTION:

1. Use engine coolant at a concentration that meets the environmental conditions in which the vehicle is driven, otherwise engine damage could occur.

2. The engine has aluminum parts and must be protected by an ethylene-glycol-based coolant to prevent corrosion and freezing.

3. Do not use coolants containing Alcohol, Methanol, Borate or Silicate. These coolants could damage the cooling system.

4. Use only soft (demineralized) water in the coolant mixture. Water that contains minerals will cut down on the coolant's effectiveness.

5. Engine coolant damages paint. If engine coolant does get on a painted surface, rinse it off quickly.

NOTE:

Engine coolant capacity (approx. quantity)

1. Remove the cooling system cap.

2. Loosen the radiator drain plug and drain the engine coolant into a container.

3. Flush the cooling system with water until all traces of color are gone.

4. Let the system drain completely.

5. Tighten the radiator drain plug.

6. Referring to the following chart, select the correct volume percentage of the water and engine coolant. Antifreeze solution mixture percentage (Except FL22 type engine coolant)

7. Remove the battery to facilitate the removal/installation of the blind cap for air bleeding.

(See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION).

8. Remove the blind cap installed to the water pipe of the EGR valve bracket.

Mazda 2. ENGINE COOLANT

CAUTION:

9. Refill the engine coolant to the radiator from the radiator filler neck until engine coolant begins to leak from the blind cap area.

10. Install the blind cap.

11. Install the battery. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION).

12. Refill the engine coolant from the radiator filler neck until it is close to the top of the radiator filler neck.

13. Refill the engine coolant into the coolant reserve tank up to the FULL mark on the tank.

14. Install the cooling system cap.

CAUTION:

15. Start the engine and warm up the engine by idling.

16. After the engine warms up, perform the following steps. At this time, be careful of the engine coolant temperature to prevent overheating.

NOTE:

  1. Run the engine at 2,500 rpm for 5 min.
  2. Maintain the engine speed at approx. 3,000 rpm for 5 s, and then idle.

    Repeat this procedure four or five times.

17. Stop the engine, and inspect the engine coolant level after the engine coolant temperature decreases. If it is low, repeat steps 12-16.

18. Inspect for engine coolant leakage. (See ENGINE COOLANT LEAKAGE INSPECTION).

ENGINE COOLANT PROTECTION INSPECTION

1. Measure the engine coolant temperature and specific gravity using a thermometer and a hydrometer.

CAUTION:

NOTE:

Mazda 2. ENGINE COOLANT

2. Determine the engine coolant protection level by referring to the graph shown in the figure.

ENGINE COOLANT LEAKAGE INSPECTION

WARNING:

1. Inspect the engine coolant level. (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION).

2. Remove the cooling system cap.

3. Install the SST and a radiator cap tester to the radiator filler neck.

Mazda 2. ENGINE COOLANT

4. Apply pressure using the radiator cap tester.

CAUTION:

Engine coolant leakage inspection pressure

5. When pressurizing the cooling system, verify that the pressure is maintained.

COOLING SYSTEM CAP INSPECTION

WARNING:

1. Clean the cooling system cap and the sealed part.

2. Inspect the cooling system cap for cracks or everted seal.

3. Attach the cooling system cap to the SST and a radiator cap tester.
