Make sure that the coolant expansion bottle

overflow hoses are not kinked or obstructed.
Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your

vehicle is equipped with air conditioning,
keep the front of the condenser clean.
Do not change the thermostat for Summer or

Winter operation. If replacement is ever
necessary, install ONLY the correct type ther-
mostat. Other designs may result in unsatis-
factory engine cooling performance, poor gas
mileage, and increased emissions.
The coolant freeze point in the battery and

power electronics loop should be checked by
an authorized dealer as a special tool is
required to remove the cap from those
expansion bottles.
Electric/Battery coolant system must be

serviced by an authorized dealer. If the
coolant level is below what is specified on the
reservoir, contact an authorized dealer for
service. These systems require the use of
high purity water such as deionized, or
distilled water when mixing the water and
coolant solution. The use of lower quality
water will reduce the amount of corrosion
protection in the cooling systems.
FUSES
WARNING!
When replacing a blown fuse, always use

an appropriate replacement fuse with the
same amp rating as the original fuse. Never
replace a fuse with another fuse of higher
amp rating. Never replace a blown fuse with
metal wires or any other material. Do not
place a fuse inside a circuit breaker cavity
or vice versa. Failure to use proper fuses
may result in serious personal injury, fire
and/or property damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the

ignition is off and that all the other services
are switched off and/or disengaged.
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an

authorized dealer.
If a general protection fuse for safety

systems (air bag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system, trans-
mission system) or steering system blows,
contact an authorized dealer.
