When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts
of the washer system. Also, water
doesn’t clean as well
as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only 3/4 full when it’s very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank if it
is completely full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It
can damage your washer system and paint.
Headlamp Washer (Export Only)
If you have this feature, you will wash your headlamps while washing your
windshield at the same time. Just press the
PUSH paddle on the
multifunction lever.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SURGE TANK PRESSURE CAP
NOTICE:
Your surge tank cap is a 15 psi (105 Wa) 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.
If your surge tank pressure cap needs to be replaced 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.
If your thermostat needs to be replaced an AC@ thermostat is
recommended.
