NOTICE
To help prevent damage to the wind-shield wiper and washer systemcomponents, you should take the fol- lowing precautions: • Do not continue to hold in the leverwhen there is no windshield washer fluid being sprayed or the washer motor can be damaged.• Do not attempt to remove dirt froma dry windshield with the wipers oryou can damage the windshieldand the wiper blades. Always wet the windshield with washer fluid before operating the wipers.• Clear ice or packed snow from thewiper blades before using the wip-ers.• Check the washer fluid level regu-larly. Check it often when theweather is bad.• Only fill the washer fluid reservoir3/4 full during cold weather to allowroom for expansion if the tempera-ture falls low enough to freeze thesolution.
NOTICE
Clear ice or snow from the rear win- dow and rear wiper blade before using the rear wiper. Accumulatedice or snow could prevent the wiper blade from moving, causing damage to the wiper motor.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE: It is normal for water to drip from the air conditioning system after use.
4) Make sure the hood is fully closed and latched.5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights, brake lights and horn for proper opera- tion.6) Adjust the seat and head restraint (if equipped). 7) Check the brake pedal and the parkingbrake lever. 8) Adjust the mirrors. 9) Make sure that you and all passengershave properly fastened your seat belts. 10)Make sure that all warning lights come on as the key is turned to the “ON” posi-tion. 11)Check all gauges. 12)Make sure that the BRAKE SYSTEMWARNING light turns off when the parking brake is released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel tank, perform the following under-hood checks:
1) Engine oil level 2) Coolant level3) Brake fluid level 4) Windshield washer fluid level 5) Battery solution level6) Hood latch operation Pull the hood release handle inside the vehicle. Make sure that you cannotopen the hood all the way without
releasing the secondary latch. Be sure to close the hood securely after check- ing for proper latch operation. See “Alllatches, hinges & locks” of “CHASSIS AND BODY” in the “Periodic Mainte- nance Schedule” in the “INSPECTIONAND MAINTENANCE” section for lubri- cation schedule.
Once a month, or each time you fill your fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge. Also check the tirepressure of the spare tire.
Engine Oil Consumption
It is normal for the engine to consume some engine oil during normal vehicle operation.
The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the viscosity of the oil, thequality of the oil and the conditions the vehicle is driven under. More oil is consumed during high-speeddriving and when there is frequent acceler- ation and deceleration. Under high loads, your engine also will consume more oil.A new engine also consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned. New engines reach the normal level of oil consumption only after approximately 5000km (3000 miles) driving.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km (1 Qt. per 600 miles)
When judging the amount of oil consump- tion, note that the oil may become diluted and make it difficult to accurately judge thetrue oil level. As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driv-ing. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has notchanged. You should also be aware that the diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicleis subsequently driven at high speeds, such as on an expressway, making it appear that oil is excessively consumedafter high-speed driving.
WA R N I N G
Make sure the hood is fully closed and latched before driv ing. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly duringdriving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.

Windshield Washer Fluid
Front
80JM078
Check that there is washer fluid in the tank.Refill it if necessary. Use a good quality windshield washer fluid, diluted with water as necessary.
Air Conditioning System
If you do not use the air conditioner for along period, such as during winter, it maynot give the best performance when you start using it again. To help maintain opti- mum performance and durability of your airconditioner, it needs to be run periodically. Operate the air condit ioner at least once a month for one minute with the engineidling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil and helps protect the internal components.
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Do not use “antifreeze” solution in the windshield washer reservoir. Thiscan severely impair visibility when sprayed on the windshield, and can also damage your vehicle’s paint.
NOTICE
Damage may result if the washermotor is operated with no fluid in the washer tank.
