Engine coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostat
in the engine coolant system. The thermostat stops the
flow of coolant through the radiator until the coolant
reaches
a preset temperature.
When
you replace your thermostat, an AC’ thermostat
is recommended.
Power Steering Fluid
How To Check Power Steering Fluid
When the engine compartment is cool, unscrew the cap
and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Replace the cap and
completely tighten
it. Then remove the cap again
and look at the fluid level
on the dipstick.
The level should be at the
H mark if the engine is warm,
or at the
C mark if the engine is cold. Add enough fluid
to bring the level up
to the mark.
A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem.
Have the system inspected and repaired.
What to Add
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind
of fluid to use. See “Recommended Fluids and
Lubr’
nts” in the Index.
I NOTICE:
~~
When adding power steering fluid or making a
complete fluid change, always use the proper
fluid. Failure to use the proper fluid
can cause
leaks and damage hoses and seals.

Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker.
An electrical overload will cause the lamps to go on and
off, or
in some cases to remain off. If this happens, have
your headlamp system 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, have
it fixed.
Power 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.
