Windshield Washer Fluid
To Add:
Open the cap with the washer symbol on
it. Add washer fluid until the bottle is full.
NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer
tluid, follow the manuficturer’s
instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with
ready-to-use washer fluid. Water
can cause the solution to freeze
and damage
your washer fluid
tank and other parts
of the washer
system. Also, water doesn’t clean
as well
as washer tluid.
Fill your washer tluid tank only
3/4 full when it’s very cold. This
allows for expansion, which could
damage the
tank if it is completely
full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in
your windshield washer. It can
damage your washer system and
paint.
Brake Master Cylinder
Your brake master cylinder is here. It is
‘illed with
DOT-3 brake fluid.
I‘here 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
lormal brake lining wear. When new
iinings are put
in, the fluid level goes
mck
up. The other reason is that tluid is
leaking out of the brake system.
If it is,
you should have your brake system fixed,
;ince 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 tluid won’t

Drain, flush and refill the system
with new or approved recycled
coolant conforming to
GM
Specification 182SM. Keep
coolant at the proper mixture
as
specified. See “Coolant” in the
Index. This provides proper
freeze and boil protection,
corrosion inhibitor level and
maintains proper engine
operating temperature.
Inspect hoses and replace
if
they are cracked, swollen or
deteriorated. Tighten screw-type
hose clamps. Clean the outside
of the radiator and air
conditioning condenser. Wash
the pressure cap and neck.
To help ensure proper operation,
we recommend a pressure test
of
both the cooling system and the
nressure cap.
