How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle fluid to use. See "Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level into the cross-hatched area on
the dipstick.
1.
Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid
, .
@e
dipstick hole to bring it to' the proper level.
It doesn't take much fluid, generally less than one
pint (0.5 L). Don't overjU.
NOTICE:
We recommend you use only fluid labeled
DEXRON@-111, because fluid with that label i,s
made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON-I11
is not covered by
your
new vehicle warranty.
3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under
"How
to Check."
4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the way.
Engine Coolant
The cooling s stem in your vehicle is filled with
DEX-COOL engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to remain in your vehicle for 5 years or 150,000 miles
(240 000 k m ) whichever occurs first, if you add only
DEX-COOL6 extended life coolant.
The following explains your cooling system and how to
add coolant when it is low. If
you
have
;e
problem with
engine overheating, see "Engine Overheating" in
the Index.
A 50J50 mixture of water and DEX-COOL@
coolant will:
Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C).
Give boiling protection up to 2685 "F (129
O
C ) .
