Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is
running or hot.

5. Re-start the engine and take your vehicle to a service facility.

Driving the vehicle without repairing the engine problem
increases the chance of engine damage. Take your vehicle to a
service facility as soon as possible.

Checking and adding engine cooling fan hydraulic fluid

Check the engine cooling fan hydraulic fluid. Refer to the scheduled
maintenance guide for the service interval schedules. If adding fluid is
necessary, use only MERCON

௡ ATF.

Check the fluid level when it is at
ambient temperature (-7° to 25° C
[20° to 80° F]):

1. Check the fluid level in the
reservoir. It should be between the
MIN and MAX lines. Do not add
fluid if the level is in this range.

2. If the fluid is low, add fluid in
small amounts, continuously
checking the level until it reaches
the range between the MIN and
MAX lines. Be sure to put the cap
back on the reservoir.
