If you are unsure that your car’s battery will be strong to handle 12-15 minutes of the venting process attach a battery charger!

Procedura

Passo 1

  • Insert key in the dash or steering column.

Passo 2

  • With foot OFF the brake (don’t want to start the car), push the start button (headlamps and interior systems come on).

Passo 3

  • Turn both temp dials as high as they will go and put the fan on the lowest setting.

Passo 4

  • Push the accelerator pedal in for ten seconds then let go – you will hear the water pump cycle on.

Passo 5

  • Set a timer for 12-15 minutes. In this time period, you will hear the water pump cycle on and off and coolant gurgling at the reservoir.

Passo 6

  • After 12-15 minutes turn the car off, remove the reservoir cap and check the fluid – it should be slightly below where you started.

Passo 7

  • Start your car. Watch your temperature. If the car will run without overheating you’re done. If you will notice that the temperature is rising repeat these steps.
