Add coolant mix at the recovery tank, but be careful not
to spill it.
Radiator
Pressure
Cap
NOTICE:
Your radiator cap is a
15
psi
(105
kPa)
pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to
prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage
from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap
line up with the overflow tube
on
the radiator
filler neck.
When you replace your radiator pressure cap, an
AC@
cap is recommended.
Thermostat
Engine coolant temperature is controlled by
a
thermostat
in the engine coolant system. The thermostat slows the
flow of coolant through the radiator until the coolant
reaches a preset temperature.
When you replace your thermostat, an
AC@
thermostat
is recommended.
Power Steering Fluid
The power steering fluid reservoir is located on the
passenger’s side
of
the engine compartment.
How
To
Check Power Steering Fluid
When the engine compartment
is
cool, unscrew the cap
and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Replace the cap
and completely tighten it. Then remove the cap again
and look at the fluid level on the dipstick.
The level should be at the
C
mark. Add enough fluid to
bring the level up to the mark.
A
fluid
loss
in
this system could indicate a problem.
Have the system inspected and repaired.
