G260A02A-AATREPLACING HEADLIGHT BULBS
Before attempting to replace a headlight bulb,
be sure the switch is turned to the "OFF"
position.
The next paragraph shows how to reach head-
light bulbs so they may be changed. Be sure to
replace the burned-out bulb with one of the
same number and wattage rating.
CAUTION:Keep the lamps out of contact with petro-
leum products such as oil, gasoline etc.
NOTE:Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after the
engine is started in extremely cold condi-
tions (below - 4°F). If the noise stops during
warm up, there is no abnormal function in
the system. It is due to a power steering
fluid characteristic in extremely cold condi-
tions.
Recommended Fluid
Use PSF-3 type fluid
NOTE:Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.
G240A01A-AAT
POWER STEERING HOSES
It is suggested that you check the power steer-
ing hose connections for fluid leakage at regular
intervals. The power steering hoses should be
replaced if there is severe surface cracking,
scuffing or worn spots. Deterioration of the
hose could cause premature failure.
