Note
Immediately after starting the engine, if the radiator reservoir assembly does not have any engine coolant, perform the following: 1) stop the engine, 2) wait until the engine coolant has cooled down, and 3) add engine coolant.
Do not start the engine when there is no engine coolant in the radiator reservoir assembly.
Make sure that the needle does not show an abnormally high temperature.
If there is not enough engine coolant, the engine may overheat.
Tech Tips
Press the No. 2 and No. 3 radiator hoses several times by hand, and then check the level of the engine coolant.

Stop the engine, and wait until the engine coolant cools down to ambient temperature. [*3]
Check the engine coolant level in the radiator reservoir assembly. [*4]
Tech Tips
If the engine coolant level is below the LOW line, repeat steps *1 through *4.
If the engine coolant level is above the FULL line, drain engine coolant until the engine coolant level is between the FULL and LOW line.

Turn the intelligent tester main switch on.
Enter the following menus:
Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / IGN Advance
| Standard ignition timing |
|---|
| 5 to 15° BTDC at idle |
Note
When checking the ignition timing, the transmission should be in neutral or park.
Tech Tips
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual for further detail.
