Adding Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper DEX
-COOL

coolant mixture at the surge tank, but only when the
engine is cool.
CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol,
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Don't spill coolant on a hot engine.
When replacing the pressure cap, make sure it is
hand
-tight.
Power Steering Fluid
The power steering fluid
reservoir is located next to
the fuse relay center on the
passenger's side of
the engine.
When to Check Power Steering Fluid
It is not necessary to regularly check power steering
fluid unless you suspect there is a leak in the system or
you hear an unusual noise. A fluid loss in this system
could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected
and repaired.

6-27 How to Check Power Steering Fluid
When the engine compartment is cool, wipe the cap and
the top of the reservoir clean, then 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. If
necessary, add only enough fluid to bring the level
up to the mark.
What to Use
To determine what kind of fluid to use, see
ªRecommended Fluids and Lubricantsº in the
Maintenance Schedule booklet. Always use the proper
fluid. Failure to use the proper fluid can cause leaks and
damage hoses and seals.
Windshield Washer Fluid
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.
Adding Washer Fluid
When your vehicle's windshield washer fluid level
becomes low, a CHECK WASHER FLUID message will
appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC). You will
need to add fluid soon.
The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located next to
the fuse relay center on the passenger's side of
the engine.
Open the cap labeled WASHER FLUID. Add washer
fluid until the tank is full.

6-60 Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused
by electrical problems.
Look at the silver
-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size
and rating. If a MaxiFuse should blow, see your dealer
for service immediately.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a
spare fuse, you can ªborrowº one that has the same
amperage. Pick some feature of your vehicle that you
can get along without
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
The MaxiFuses are located in two Bussed Electrical
Centers (BEC), one located near the engine
compartment on the passenger's side and the other under
the rear seat on the driver's side. If a MaxiFuse should
blow, have your vehicle serviced by your
dealer immediately.Underhood Junction Block
The front Bussed Electrical Center (BEC) is located in
the front of the engine compartment between the
windshield washer fluid reservoir and the power steering
fluid reservoir (on the passenger's side). Lift the cover
to gain access.
