Indicator 
After  the transaxle  fluid  has  been  changed,  display  the 
TRANS  FLUID  LIFE  message  by  pressing  the 
INFO 
button.  Then  press  and  hold  the  INFO  RESET  button 
until  the  display  shows 
“loo.” This  resets  the  transaxle 
fluid  life  index.  The  message  will  remain  off  until  the  next  transaxle  fluid  change  is  needed.  The percentage 
of 
transaxle  fluid  life remaining  may  be  checked  at  any 
time  by  pressing  the 
INFO button  several  times  until  the 
TRANS  FLUID  LIFE  message  appears. 
Engine  Coolant 
The  cooling s stem  in your  vehicle is filled  with 
DEX-COOL  engine  coolant.  This  coolant  is designed 
to remain  in your  vehicle for 5 years  or 150,000 miles 
(240 000 km) whichever  occurs  first, if  you  add  only 
DEX-COOL’  extended  life coolant. 
B 
The  following  explains  your  cooling  system  and  how to 
add  coolant  when  it is  low. 
If you  have  a  problem  with 
engine  overheating,  see  “Engine  Overheating”  in 
the  Index. 
A 50/50 mixture of water  and  DEX-COOL@ 
coolant  will: 
0 Give  freezing  protection  down  to  -34°F (-37°C). 
0 Give  boiling  protection  up to 265°F (129°C). 
Protect  against  rust  and corrosion. 
Help  keep  the  proper  engine  temperature. 
0 Let  the  warning  lights  and  gages  work  as 
they  should. 
NOTICE: 
When  adding  coolant, it is important  that  you  use 
only 
DEX-COOL@ (silicate-free)  coolant. 
If coolant  other than DEX-COOL is added to the 
system,  premature  engine, heater core or 
radiator  corrosion  may  result.  In addition, the 
engine  coolant  will require  change  sooner 
-- at 
30,000 miles (50 000 km) or 24 months, 
whichever  occurs  first. Damage  caused 
by the use 
of coolant  other  than  DEX-COOL@ is not 
covered 
by your  new vehicle  warranty.
