Coolant Change
At specific mileage intervals, as listed in
the scheduled maintenance information,
the coolant should be changed. The
optional information display, if equipped,
will also display the message COOLANT
CHANGE REQUIRED at this time.
See Capacities and Specifications
(page 54). for the proper coolant.
Engine-driven Cooling Fan (Fan
Clutch)
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine
driven cooling fan drive (also called a fan
clutch). This fan drive changes the fan
speed to match the vehicle ’s changing
cooling air flow requirements. Fan speed,
fan noise level and fuel consumption all
will increase based on the driving
conditions that include trailer towing, hill
climbing, heavy loads, high speed and high
ambient temperature, individually or in
combination.
The fan drive is designed to provide the
minimum fan speed (and resulting
minimum fan noise and fuel consumption)
required to meet the ever changing vehicle
cooling air flow requirements. You will hear
the amount of fan noise increasing and
decreasing as the engine power
requirements and vehicle driving conditions
change as you drive. This is to be expected
as being normal to the operation of your
vehicle. High levels of fan noise might also
be heard when your engine is first started,
and should normally decrease after driving
for a short time. CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER
Air Filter Restriction Gauge WARNING
To reduce the risk of vehicle damage
and/or personal burn injuries do not
start your engine with the air filter
removed and do not remove it while the
engine is running. Note:
Vehicle operation in heavy snowfall
or extreme rain conditions may feed
excessive amounts of snow/water into the
air intake system. This could plug/soak the
air filter with snow and may cause the
engine to lose power and possibly shut
down. The restriction gauge, located on the upper
housing of the air filter assembly, measures
the vacuum inside the air filter. The more
the air filter is restricted (dirty, clogged),
the higher the vacuum reading
Check the air filter restriction gauge
whenever the hood is raised to perform
general engine maintenance at least every
7,500 miles (12,000 km). If the vehicle is
operated in extremely dusty conditions,
check and reset the gauge at least every
500 miles (800 km), or two weeks,
