Refilling And Bleeding |
Never remove the cap when the engine is hot. Serious scalding could be caused by hot fluid under high pressure escaping from the reservoir. |
When pouring inverter 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. |
Remove the inverter reservoir cap (A) to help drain the coolant faster.
|
2. |
Remove the under cover. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Room Under Cover") |
3. |
Remove the drain plug (A), allow the coolant to drain out and then reinstall the drain plug.
|
4. |
After draining coolant in the reservoir tank, clean the tank. |
5. |
Fill the radiator with water through the inverter reservoir cap and tighten the cap.
|
6. |
Switch "On" ignition and then perform the EWP actuation using KDS / GDS.
|
7. |
Repeat steps 1 to 6 until the drained water runs clear. |
8. |
Fill the reservoir with coolant. Fill fluid mixture with coolant and water (45 - 50%) slowly.
|
9. |
Perform the EWP actuation using KDS / GDS.
|
10. |
When the EWP operates and coolant circulates, refill coolant so that the coolant level is kept between "MAX" and "MIN" level.
|
11. |
When the operational sound volume of the EWP becomes small and when no air bubbles can be seen in the reservoir tank, bleeding of the coolant system is completed. (It would take about 3 - 5 minutes.)
|
12. |
After air bleeding is completed, stop the EWP, add coolant to the "MAX" level, and install the reservoir cap. |

Description
An inverter is a device that transforms the DC voltage from the battery into
an AC voltage (115V). The inverter can power various electrical devices that consume
150W or less, including mobile phone or notebook rechargers, audio systems, and
TVs.
