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.

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 FULL COLD mark.  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 
Lubricants” 
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.
