3. Remove the radiator drain plug and

drain the coolant into a suitable
container. Properly dispose of the used
coolant.

4. Flush out the system with running

water.

5. Drain the system completely. Insert and

tighten the plug. Add as much
ethylene-glycol-based coolant mixture
and water as necessary to provide
freezing and corrosion protection.

6. In extremely cold climates, add the

mixture percentage recommended in
the coolant mixture percentage table.

7. Run the engine at idle with the cooling

system cap off. Slowly add additional
coolant if necessary.

8. At this point, wait until the engine

reaches normal operating temperature;
then depress the accelerator two or
three times. Add more coolant, if
necessary, until the system is full.

9. Install the cooling system cap. Inspect

all connections for leaks. Inspect the
level in the coolant reservoir one more
time and verify that the coolant level is
between the F and L marks.

Inspecting Brake/Clutch Fluid Level

The brakes and clutch draw fluid from the
same reservoir.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept at MAX.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake and clutch
linings. If it is excessively low, have the
brake/clutch system inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
