To prevent damage to the windscreen
wiper and washer system components,
you should take the following
precautions: Do not continue to hold in the lever when there is no windscreen washer
fluid being sprayed or the washer
motor can be damaged.
Do not attempt to remove dirt from
a dry windscreen with the wipers or
you can damage the windscreen and
the wiper blades. Always wet the
windscreen with washer fluid before
operating the wipers.
Clear ice or packed snow from the wiper blades before using the
wipers.
Check the washer fluid level regularly. Check it often when the
weather is bad.
Only fill the washer fluid reservoir 3/4 full during cold weather to allow
room for expansion if the
temperature falls low enough to
freeze the solution. Press the horn button of the steering wheel
to sound the horn. The horn will sound with
the ignition switch in any position.

Windscreen Washer
To spray windscreen washer fluid, pull the
lever toward you. The windscreen wipers
will automatically turn on at low speed if
they are not already on and the "INT"
position is equipped.
To prevent windscreen icing in cold weather, turn on the defroster to heat
the windscreen before and during
windscreen washer use.
Do not use radiator antifreeze in the windscreen washer reservoir. It can
severely impair visibility when
sprayed on the windscreen, and can
also damage your vehicle’s paint.

You should take extreme care when
working on your vehicle to prevent
accidental injury. Here are a few
precautions that you should be
especially careful to observe:
Do not leave the engine running ingarages or other confined areas.
When the engine is running, keep hands, clothing, tools, and other
objects away from the fan and water
pump belt. Even though the fan may
not be moving, it can automatically
turn on without warning. When it is necessary to do service
work with the engine running, make
sure that the parking brake is
applied fully and the transmission is
in Neutral.
Do not touch ignition wires or other
ignition system parts when starting
the engine or when the engine is
running, or you could receive an
electric shock.
Be careful not to touch a hot engine, exhaust manifold and pipes,
muffler, radiator and water hoses.
Do not allow smoking, sparks, or flames around gasoline or the
battery. Flammable fumes are
present.
Do not get under your vehicle if it is supported only with the portable
jack provided in your vehicle.
Be careful not to cause accidental short circuits between the positive
and negative battery terminals.
Keep used oil, coolant, and other
fluids away from children and pets.
Dispose of used fluids properly;
never pour them on the ground, into
sewers, etc.INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE9-1

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION
To avoid damaging your cooling sys-
tem:
Always use a high quality ethyleneglycol base non-silicate type cool-
ant diluted with distilled water at
the correct mixture concentration.
Make sure that the proper mix is 30/ 70 coolant to distilled water.
Concentrations greater than 70/30
coolant to distilled water will cause
over heating conditions.
Do not use straight coolant nor plain water.
Do not add extra inhibitors or addi-
tives. They may not be compatible
with your cooling system.
Do not mix different types of base coolants. Doing so may result in
accelerated seal wear and/or the
possibility of severe overheating
and extensive engine damage. Coolant Level Check
Check the coolant level at the reservoir
tank, not at the radiator. With the engine
cool, the coolant level should be between
the “FULL” and “LOW” marks.
Adding Coolant
If the coolant level is below the “LOW”
mark, more coolant should be added.
Remove the reservoir tank cap and add
coolant until the reservoir tank level reaches
the “FULL” mark. Never fill the reservoir
tank above the “FULL” mark.
CAUTION
The mixture you use should con-
tain 50% concentration of anti-
freeze.
If the lowest ambient temperature
in your area is expected to be –
35°C (–31°F) or below, use higher
concentrations up to 60% following
the instructions on the antifreeze
container.
When putting the cap on the reser- voir tank, line up the arrow on the
cap and the arrow on the tank. Fail-
ure to follow this can result in cool-
ant leakage.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE9-29To avoid harm to yourself or damage
to your vehicle or battery, follow the
jump starting instructions in the
EMERGENCY SERVICE section of this
manual if it is necessary to jump start
your vehicle.
The level of the battery solution must be
kept between the “MAX” and the “MIN” level
lines at all times. If the level is found to be
below the “MIN” level line, add distilled
water to the “MAX” level line. You should
periodically check the battery, battery
terminals, and battery hold-down bracket for
corrosion. Remove corrosion using a stiff
brush and ammonia mixed with water, or
baking soda mixed with water. After
removing corrosion, rinse with clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable from
the negative terminal of the battery to help
prevent discharge.

engine until these problems have been
corrected.
3) If you do not find a leak, carefully add coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “ENGINE
COOLANT” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.)
It is dangerous to remove the radiator
cap when the water temperature is
high, because scalding fluid and
steam may be blown out under
pressure. The cap should only be
taken off when the coolant
temperature has lowered.
To help prevent personal injury, keep
hands, tools and clothing away from
the engine cooling fan and air-
conditioner fan (if equipped). These
electric fans can automatically turn on
without warning.

1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and
park.
3) Let the engine run at normal idle speed for a few minutes until engine coolant
temperature warning light goes off.
If you see or hear escaping steam,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and
immediately turn off the engine to let
it cool. Do not open the bonnet when
steam is present. When the steam can
no longer be seen or heard, open the
hood to see if the coolant is still
boiling. If it is, you must wait until it
stops boiling before you proceed.
If the engine coolant temperature warning
light does not goes off:
1) Turn off the engine and check that the water pump belt and pulleys are not
damaged or slipping. If any abnormality
is found, correct it.
2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it is found to be lower than the “LOW”
line, look for leaks at the radiator, water
pump, and radiator and heater hoses. If
you locate any leaks that may have
caused the overheating, do not run the

WARNING TRIANGLEIn case of vehicle break-down or during
emergency stopping, where, your vehicle
could become a potential traffic hazard,
keep the warning triangle, provided with
your vehicle, on the road free from any
obstacles behind your vehicle so as to warn
the approaching traffic, at an approximate
distance of 50-100 m. The reflecting side
of the triangle should face the on coming
traffic. Please activate the hazard warning
lamps before alighting the vehicle to keep
the warning triangle.
