in the engine coolant system. The thermostat stops the
flow of coolant through the radiator until the coolant
reaches
a preset temperature.

Power Steering Fluid
How To Check Power Steering Fluid
When the engine compartment is cool, 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.
The level should be at the
H mark if the engine is warm,
or at the
C mark if the engine is cold. Add enough fluid
to bring the level up
to the mark.
A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem.
Have the system inspected and repaired.
What to Add
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind
of fluid to use. See “Recommended Fluids and
Lubr’
nts” in the Index.
I 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.

What to Use
When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to read
the manufacturer’s instructions before use. If you will be
operating your vehicle
in an area where the temperature
may fall below freezing, use
a fluid that has sufficient
protection against freezing.
To Add
Open the cap labeled
WASHER FLUID ONLY.
Add washer fluid until the
tank
is full.

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.
