SG220A1-E ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem-perature decreases, the fan will au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition.
The engine cooling fan should operate
before the temperature gauge reachesthe upper portion of the scale and thecondenser fan should operate when- ever the air conditioning is in use.
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
SG230A1-E
HFC5004
G230A02FC
Petrol engine
Diesel engine
The power steering fluid level should be checked daily. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", thencheck to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings onthe fluid reservoir. NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in ex-tremely cold condition (below -4°F). If the noise stops dur- ing warm up, there is no abnormalfunction in the system. This is due to a power steering fluid character- istic in extremely cold conditions.
FLUID RECOMMENDATION Only automatic transmission fluidmeeting the specification of PSF-3 or Dexron 2 should be used in the power steering system.
