1 NOTICE:
Your surge tank cap is a 15 psi (105 kPa) pressure-type cap and
must be tightly installed to prevent coolant loss and possible
engine damage from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap \
line up with the overflow tube on the radiator filler neck.
i
When you replace your surge tank pressure cap, an AC@ cap is
recommended.
THERMOSTAT
Engine coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostat in the engine
coolant system. The thermostat stops the
flow of coolant through the
radiator until the coolant reaches a preset temperature.
When you replace your thermostat, an
AC@ thermostat is recommended.

Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Replace the cap
and completely tighten it. Then remove the cap again and look at the
fluid level on the dipstick.
When the engine
compartment is
hot, the level
should be at the
“HOT” mark.
When the engine
compartment
is
cool, the level
should be at the
“FULL COLD”
mark,
What to Add
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of fluid to
use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
NOTICE:
When adding power steering fluid or making a complete fluid
change, always use the .proper fluid. Failure to use the proper
fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The suspension system also incorporates a new damping system know as
Road Sensing Suspension. This system control the damping forces in the
shock absorbers and struts, in response to various road and driving conditions.
The systems are capable
of making these damping changes extremely fast.
A computer receives inputs from vertical acceleration sensors, whee\
l to body
position sensors, vehicle speed sensor, lift and dive signals. This computer
evaluates the inputs from these sensors, to control the damping of each
of the
struts and shocks independently to provide varied levels
of suspension control.
The system also has the capability of providing Speed Sensitive Steering
control. This system changes your steering effort based on your vehicle speed.
Speed Sensitive Steering
This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your vehicle
speed. Steering is easier at a lower speed for increased maneuverability and
parking
ease. As your vehicle speed increases, the steering effort is also
increased to provide a manual like steering feel for maximum control and
enhanced vehicle stability.
The power rack and pinion steering system has a rotary spool valve\
which
directs hydraulic fluid coming from the power steering pump to one side or
the other side
of the rack piston. The integral rack piston is attached to the
