cause serious injury.
Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the rotating fan
blades of the cooling fan.
The electric motor for the cooling
fan is controlled by vehicle coolant
temperature, refrigerant pressure and
vehicle speed. As the vehicle coolant
temperature decreases, the electric
motor will automatically shut off. This is
a normal condition.

WARNING

[Check the coolant level when
the motor compartment
is cooled. Coolant level is
influenced by temperature,
and if the coolant reservoir
cap is removed when coolant
temperature is high, hot
coolant and steam may blow
out under pressure causing
serious injury.

[Make sure the coolant cap is properly
closed after refilling coolant.
Otherwise the motor could be
overheated while driving.

Checking the Washer Fluid Level
OJWEV091004
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary. Plain
water may be used if washer fluid is not
available. However, use washer solvent
with antifreeze characteristics in cold
climates to prevent freezing.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death, take
the following safety precautions when
using washer fluid:

[Do not use coolant or antifreeze in
the washer fluid reservoir. Coolant
can severely obscure visibility when
sprayed on the windshield and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident or damage to
paint and body trim.

[Do not allow sparks or flame to
contact the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir. Washer fluid
may contain alcohol and can be
flammable.

[Do not drink washer fluid and avoid
contact with skin. Washer fluid is
harmful to humans and animals.

[Keep washer fluid away from
children and animals.
REDUCTION GEAR FLUID
