Automatic Transmission
Fluid
It is not necessary to check the
transmission fluid level. A transaxle
fluid leak is the only reason for
fluid loss. If a leak occurs, take the
vehicle to your dealer/retailer
service department and have it
repaired as soon as possible.
Change the fluid and filter at the
intervals listed in Additional
Required Services on page 6-5, and
be sure to use the transaxle fluid
listed in Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 6-11.
Notice: Use of the incorrect
automatic transaxle fluid may
damage your vehicle, and
the damages may not be covered
by your warranty. Always use
the automatic transaxle fluid
listed in Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 6-11.
Cooling System
When you decide it is safe to lift the
hood, here is what you will see:
A. Coolant Surge Tank
B. Pressure Cap
{ CAUTION
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.
If the coolant inside the coolant
surge tank is boiling, do not
do anything else until it cools down.
The vehicle should be parked on
a level surface.
The coolant level should be between
the MIN and MAX lines. If it is
not, you may have a leak at the
radiator hoses, heater hoses,
radiator, water pump, or somewhere
else in the cooling system.
