• mix the coolant in your vehicle either 50/50 or 60/40 coolant and water ratio
• while the vehicle is off, add coolant to the reservoir tank, allow coolant to go down and top up when needed

• once enough coolant is in the system, start the engine and park the vehicle on an incline with the noise of the car being the highest point
• leaving the cap off, run the vehicle
• turn climate control on the highest heat seating with the fan set at mid speed
• allow vehicle to reach full operating temperature and add coolant when necessarily
• once coolant remains at a constant level and vehicle is running at operating temperature for a significant amount of time, turn it off and allow it to cool down
• check coolant to ensure it is at appropriate level
• repeat process if necessary
