Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transaxle
fluid
to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
If
the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper fluid to bring the
level into the cross-hatched area on the dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the dipstick hole to
bring it to
the proper level. It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less
than
a pint (OSL). Don’t overfill. We recommend you use only fluid
labeled DEXRON@-IIE or DEXRON@-111, because fluids with that
label are made especially for your automatic transaxle. Damage
caused by fluid other than DEXRON@-IIE or DEXRON@-I11 is not
covered by your
new vehicle warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as described under “How to
When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all
Check.”
the way.
How To Reset Transaxle Fluid Change Indicator:
Your vehicle is equipped
with a transaxle fluid change indicator. A
“CHANGE TRANS FLUID” message will display on the Information
Center when the power train computer determines that the transaxle
fluid needs to be changed or at each
100,000 miles (160,000 km) interval,
whichever occurs first. When this message appears, change the transaxle
fluid and reset the transaxle fluid life indicator as follows:
Turn the key “ON” with the engine stopped.
Press and hold the “OFF” and “REAR DEFOG” buttons on the climate
control simultaneously until the “TRANS FLUID RESET” message
appears in the Information Center (between
5 and 20 seconds).

Whicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or more, take off the
black, negative
(-) cable from the battery. This will help keep your battery
from running down.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle for longer
storage periods.
Battery Power Loss
If you lose battery power or the battery is disconnected, your car’s
computer must be programmed. It takes just over
20 minutes to do it. If
you want to do it yourself, here’s how:
Apply the parking brake.
0 Make sure the front wheels are straight.
Turn off the Electronic Climate Control.
0 Start the engine in “P” (Park) and let it idle for 15 minutes. Then:
0 Put your foot on the brake pedal, shift the transaxle to @ and let it
idle for
3 minutes or more. Do not accelerate the engine. Then:
0 With the car in @ (Drive), turn the Electronic Climate Control to
“Auto” and let the engine idle for 3 minutes or more.
0 Turn your engine off.
Now your computer is programmed.

Treadweat
. . , .--, . .
r The treadwear grade is .a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested .under controlled -conditions on a specified
.government test course. .For example, a tire graded 150 would \
wear one
and a half
(I 1/2) times as well on the government course-as a tire graded
’ 100. The relative performance of tires depends uponthe .actual
conditions of.their use, however, and may depart significant@
frorri the
norm due to variationsin driving habits, service practices and differences
in rodd characteristics and climate.
.r Daction -A, B, C
t The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, B, and C. They
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet-pavement as measured under
controlled conditionson specified government test surfaces of asphalt
’ and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction p.erformance.
Warning: The traction. grade assigned to this tire is based on braking
(straight-ahead) traction tests and doemot include cornering (turning)
