When open a filler cap with pressure relief valve and exhaust button, be sure to press down exhaust button in advance if the engine is in hot state. Avoid filling plenty of coolant when the engine is hot, otherwise some parts may be damaged due to sharp temperature reduction.

Start the engine, run the engine at 1000r/min and keep adding coolant until level gets stable, finally close the filler cap.
