A CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol, and it
will burn if the engine
parts are hot enough. Don’t
spill coolant on a hot engine.
To Add Coolant 4.6L (Northstar): If you need more coolant, add the
proper
mix at the coolant surPe tank.
A CAUTION:
lbrning the surge tank pressure cap when the engine and
radiator are hot
can allow steam and scalding liquids to blow
out and burn you badly. Never turn the surge tank pressure cap
-- even a little -- when the engine and radiator are hot.
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol, and it
will burn if the engine
parts are hot enough. Don’t spill coolant
on a hot engine.
To Check or Add Coolant: When the engine is cold, the coolant level
should be at
“FULL COLD,” or a little higher. Remove the pressure cap
from the surge tank;
use a flashlight as necessary to see into the tank. The
coolant Ievel should be at or above the seam inside the tank.
If you need more coolant, add the proper mix.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in your master
cylinder might go down. The first is that the brake fluid goes down to an
acceptable level during normal brake lining wear. When
new linings are
put in, the fluid level goes back up. The other reason is that fluid is
leaking out
of the brake system. If it is, you should have your brake
system
fixed, since a leak means that sooner or later your brakes won’t
work well, or won’t work at all.
So, it isn’t a good idea to “top off” your
brake fluid. Adding brake fluid won’t correct a leak. If you add fluid when
your linings are worn, then you’ll have too much fluid when you get new
brake linings.
You should add (or remove) brake fluid, as necessary, only
when work
is done on the brake hydraulic system.
A CAUTION:
If ),ou hate loo much brake fluid, it can spill on the engine. The
fluid will burn if the engine is hot enough. You or others could
tw borntd. and )our whicle could be damaged. Add brake fluid
onl) whco wcC h dune on the bruke hydraulic system.

i
The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload will cause the lights to
go on and off, or in some
cases
to remain off. If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until
the motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc.,
be sure to get it fixed.
rower Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes
away.
