Cooling System Pressure Cap
The cooling system pressure cap is located on the
surge tank.
NOTICE:
Your cooling system pressure cap is a 15 psi
(105 kPa) pressure
-type cap and must be tightly
installed to prevent coolant loss and possible
engine damage from overheating.
Power Steering Fluid
The power steering fluid
reservoir is toward the
middle of the engine
compartment, on the
passenger's side.
See ªEngine Compartment
Overviewº in the Index
for more information
on location.
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.

The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located on
the passenger's side of the engine compartment near
the diagonal cross brace. See ªEngine Compartment
Overviewº in the Index for more information
on location.
Open the cap labeled WASHER FLUID ONLY.
Add washer fluid until the tank is full.
NOTICE:
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
three
-quarters full when it's very cold.
This allows for expansion if freezing occurs,
which could damage the tank if it is
completely full.
Don't use engine coolant (antifreeze) in
your windshield washer. It can damage
your washer system and paint.
