!Open the bonnet and remove the transaxle dipstick, remembering that care must be exercised to prevent in-jury occurring through contact with hot or rotating parts of the engine. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en- gine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem-perature decreases, the fan will auto- matically shut off. This is a normal condition.
Wipe the dipstick, replace it fully andpromptly remove it again. The fluidlevel should be between the upper and lower marks. Fluid need only be added if the level is at or below the lower markand must never be increased above the higher mark. If additional fluid is re- quired, this should be poured into thetransmission through the dipstick tube with the aid of a suitable funnel.

Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
!WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pres-sure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the enginestopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People usingpacemakers should not move than 12 in.(30 cm) closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, since the high currents in the CommonRail system produce considerable magnetic fields.

27REMOVAL OF WATER FROM THE FUEL FILTERPOWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
G300A02B-GAT (DIESEL ENGINE)
If the fuel filter warning light illuminates during driving, it indicates that waterhas accumulated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the water as described below.
SG230B1-E POWER STEERING HOSES Power steering hoses should be checked for damage, deterioration andleakage at each service.
NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in extremelycold condition (below -4°F). If the noise stops during warm up, there is no abnormal function in the system.This is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in extremely cold con- ditions. FLUID RECOMMENDATION Only automatic transmission fluid meet- ing the specification of PSF-3 or Dexron 2 should be used in the power steering system.
SG230A1-E The power steering fluid level should be checked daily.To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the powersteering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.
