When pouring engine coolant, be sure to shut the relay box lid and not to let coolant spill on the electrical parts or the paint. If any coolant spills, rinse it off immediately.

1.	Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to the touch.

2.	Remove radiator cap (A).

3.	Loosen the drain plug (A), and drain the coolant.
