To drain the coolant:
1. Locate the lower radiator hose: This is the hose connecting the bottom of the radiator to the engine.
2. Place a drain pan underneath: Position it to catch the coolant.
3. Carefully loosen the hose clamp: Use pliers to loosen the clamp securing the hose to the radiator.
4. Carefully remove the lower radiator hose: This will allow the coolant to drain into your pan. Be aware that the coolant will be hot if the engine has recently been running, so allow it to cool completely before attempting this.
5. Once drained, reattach the hose and clamp.
Important Considerations:
* Coolant is corrosive and toxic. Wear gloves and eye protection.
* Dispose of the coolant properly. Do not pour it down the drain or onto the ground. Check with your local waste disposal facility for proper disposal methods.
* Refill with the correct type and amount of coolant. Consult your owner's manual for the specific type and capacity. Using the wrong coolant can damage your engine.
While some older vehicles had drain plugs on the radiator itself, this design is less common in more modern vehicles like your 2002 Sebring.
