km). Towing a trailer in the overheat protection mode should be avoided.

Mode”, to avoid engine damage allow the engine to cool befo\
re
attempting any repair.
The engine oil may be severely degraded. Change the oil and
reset the oil life indicator. (See “Engine Oil, When to Change”

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
Too much or too little fluid can damage your transaxle. Too
much can mean that some of the fluid could come out and fall\

on hot engine parts or exhaust system, starting a fire.
Be sure to
get an accurate reading
if you check your transaxle fluid.
Wait at least 30 minutes before checking the transaxle fluid level if you
have been driving:
When outside temperatures are above 90'F (32" C).
At high speed for quite a while.
In heavy traffic -- especially in hot weather.
While pulling a trailer.
To get the right reading, the fluid should be at normal operating
temperature, which is
180 F to 200 ' F (82' C to 93 C).
Get the vehicle warmed up by driving about 15 miles (24 km) when
outside temperatures are above
50 "F (10'C). If it's colder than 50'F
(lO'C), you may have to drive longer.
To check the fluid level
Park your vehicle on a level place.
With the parking brake applied, place the shift lever in "P" (Park).
With your foot on the brake pedal, move the shift lever through each
gear range, pausing for about three seconds in each range. Then,
position the shift lever in
"P" (Park).
