DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE

G240A01A-AATPOWER STEERING HOSESIt is suggested that you check the power
steering hose connections for fluid leakage
at those intervals specified in the vehicle
maintenance schedule in Section 5.
The power steering hoses should be
replaced if there is severe surface crack-
ing, pulling, scuffing or worn spots.
Deterioration of the hose could cause
premature failure.
POWER STEERING FLUID
LEVELG230A01NF-AAT
Recommended FluidUse PSF-4 type fluidNOTE:Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.
ONF078007
The power steering fluid level should be
checked regularly. To check the power
steering fluid level, be sure the engine is
"OFF", then check to make certain that the
power steering fluid level is between the
"MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the
fluid reservoir.NOTE:Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after
the engine is started in extremely cold
conditions (below - 4°F). If the noise stops
during warm up, there is no abnormal
function in the system. It is due to a
power steering fluid characteristic in
extremely cold conditions.
CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING
FANS!
G220A01A-AAT
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 the blades of
the cooling fan, so that you are not injured
by a rotating fan blade. As the engine
coolant temperature decreases the fan
will automatically shut off. This is a
normal condition.G220B01NF-GATChecking Engine Cooling FanThe engine cooling fan should come on
automatically if the engine coolant
temperature is high or whenever the air
conditioning is in operation.
