How to Add Coolant to the
Radiator
{WARNING
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. Do not spill
coolant on a hot engine.Notice:This vehicle has a
specic coolant ll procedure.
Failure to follow this procedure
could cause the engine to
overheat and be severely
damaged.
{WARNING
An electric engine cooling fan
under the hood can start up even
when the engine is not running
and can cause injury. Keep
hands, clothing, and tools away
from any underhood electric fan.
{WARNING
Steam and scalding liquids from
a hot cooling system can blow
out and burn you badly. They are
under pressure, and if you turn the
surge tank pressure cap — even a
little — they can come out at high
speed. Never turn the cap when
the cooling system, including the
surge tank pressure cap, is hot.
Wait for the cooling system and
surge tank pressure cap to cool
if you ever have to turn the
pressure cap.
If coolant is needed, add the proper
mixture directly to the radiator,
but be sure the cooling system
is cool before this is done.

How to Check Power Steering
Fluid
Check the level after the vehicle
has been driven for at least
twenty minutes so the fluid
is warm.
To check the power steering fluid:
1. Turn the ignition key to
LOCK/OFF and let the engine
compartment cool down.
2. Remove the engine cover. Refer
toEngine Cover on page 9-9.
3. Wipe the cap and the top of the
reservoir clean.
4. Turn the cap counterclockwise
and pull it straight up.
5. Wipe the dipstick with a
clean rag.6. Replace the cap and completely
tighten it.
7. Remove the cap again and look
at the fluid level on the dipstick.
When the engine is hot, the
level should be at the hot MAX
level. When the engine is
cold, the fluid level should be
between MIN and MAX on
the dipstick.
What to Use
To determine what kind of fluid to
use, seeRecommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 10-7. Always
use the proper fluid.
Washer Fluid
What to Use
When windshield washer fluid
is needed, be sure to read the
manufacturer’s instructions before
use. If operating vehicle in an area
where the temperature can fall
below freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid until
the reservoir is full. SeeEngine
Compartment Overview on page 9-6
for reservoir location.

Notice:Do not cover a headlamp
to improve beam cut-off when
aiming. Covering a headlamp may
cause excessive heat build-up
which may cause damage to
the headlamp.
6. Turn on the low-beam
headlamps and place a piece of
cardboard or equivalent in front of
the headlamp not being adjusted.
This allows only the beam of light
from the headlamp being adjusted
to be seen on the flat surface.
7. Locate the vertical headlamp
aiming screws, which are
under the hood near each
headlamp assembly.
The adjustment screw can be
turned with a 6 mm hex key.
8. Turn the vertical aiming screw
until the headlamp beam is aimed
to the horizontal tape line. Turn it
clockwise or counterclockwise
to raise or lower the angle of
the beam.9. Make sure that the light from
the headlamp is positioned at
the bottom edge of the horizontal
tape line. The lamp on the left (A)
shows the correct headlamp aim.
The lamp on the right (B) shows
the incorrect headlamp aim.
10. Repeat Steps 6 through 9 for
the opposite headlamp.
