244 Vehicle Care
If the vehicle has electric cooling fan(s), the
fans may be heard spinning at low speed
during most everyday driving. The fans may
turn off if no cooling is required. Under
heavy vehicle loading, trailer towing, high
outside temperatures, or operation of the air
conditioning system, the fans may change
to high speed and an increase in fan noise
may be heard. This is normal and indicates
that the cooling system is functioning
properly. The fans will change to low speed
when additional cooling is no longer
required.
The electric engine cooling fans may run
after the engine has been turned. off. This is
normal and no service is required.

Washer Fluid

What to Use
Use a washer fluid designed for the climate
your vehicle operates in. For example,
vehicles that operate in climates where
temperatures fall below freezing should use
a washer fluid that provides sufficient
protection against freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
When washer fluid is low, a message
displays on the Driver Information Center
(DIC). Always read the manufacturer's
instructions before adding fluid.
Open the cap with the washer symbol on it.
Add washer fluid until the tank is full. See
Engine Compartment Overview 0 234 for
reservoir location.
Caution
Do not use washer fluid that contains
any type of water repellent coating.
This can cause the wiper blades to
chatter or skip.
Do not use engine coolant (antifreeze)
in the windshield washer. It can
damage the windshield washer system
and paint.
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
Do not mix water with ready-to-use
washer fluid. Water can cause the
solution to freeze and damage the
washer fluid tank and other parts of
the washer system.
When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer instructions
for adding water.
Fill the washer fluid tank only
three-quarters full when it is very cold.
This allows for fluid expansion if
freezing occurs, which could damage
the tank if it is completely full.

Brakes

Disc brake linings have built-in wear
indicators that make a high-pitched warning
sound when the brake linings are worn and
new linings are needed. The sound can come
and go or can be heard all the time when
the vehicle is moving, except when applying
the brake pedal firmly.
