Precautions to observe when using wip-
ers and washers
E00507600014
l If
the moving wipers become blocked by ice
or other deposits on the glass, the motor may
burn out even if the wiper switch is turned to
OFF. If obstruction occurs, park your vehicle
in a safe place, turn off the ignition, and
clean the deposits from the glass so that the
wipers operate smoothly.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is dry.
They may scratch the glass surface or the
blades may prematurely wear out.
l Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not frozen on-
to the glass. The motor may burn out if the
wipers are used with the blades frozen onto
the glass.
l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer fluid
in the reservoir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a recommended
washer solution that will not freeze in the
washer reservoir. Failure to do so could re-
sult in loss of washer function and frost dam-
age to the system components. Headlamp washer switch*

Automatic transmission fluid*
E01000600857
The
proper amount of automatic transmission fluid
is essential to the life and operation of the automat-
ic transmission. Either insufficient fluid or exces-
sive fluid could cause transmission trouble. The
transmission fluid filler port cap is equipped with a
dipstick. Use the following procedure to check the
fluid level.
Procedure for checking the fluid level
1. Check the fluid level after the vehicle hasbeen driven enough to warm up the transmis-
sion fluid.
2. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface and apply the parking brake.
3. With the engine idling and the brake pedal fully depressed, move the transmission selec-
tor lever through all the positions from P”
(PARK) to “D” (DRIVE), stopping momen-
tarily at each position.
4. Move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
5. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean lint-free cloth.
6. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes. 7. Remove dipstick and read the oil level.
The fluid level should always be between the
two marks on the dipstick. WARNING
l Do
not spill the fluid onto a hot exhaust
manifold during topping up or inspec-
tion, or a fire may occur.
Fluid type
Use
only “DIA QUEEN ATF SP III” transmission
fluid to ensure optimum transmission performance. Washer fluid
E01000700164
Check

the float (A) is between the “FULL” and
“EMPTY” marks on the washer fluid reservoir.
If the level is low, replenish the container with wash-
er fluid. NOTE
l The

washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen, rear window and headlamps*.
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at low
temperatures, use a fluid containing an anti-freez-
ing agent. Maintenance
