Automatic Transaxle Fluid
It is not necessary to check the transaxle fluid level.
A transaxle fluid leak is the only reason for fluid loss.
If a leak occurs, take your vehicle to the dealership
service department and have it repaired as soon
as possible.
Change the fluid at the intervals listed in Additional
Required Services on page 6-6, and be sure to use
the transaxle fluid listed in Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 6-11.
Notice: Use of the incorrect automatic transaxle
fluid may damage your vehicle, and the damages
may not be covered by your warranty. Always use
the automatic transaxle fluid listed in Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-11.
Engine Coolant
The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with
DEX-COOL
® engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to remain in your vehicle for five years or 100,000 miles
(166 000 km), whichever occurs first, if you add only
DEX-COOL
® extended life coolant.
The following explains your cooling system and how
to add coolant when it is low. If you have a problem
with engine overheating, see Engine Overheating
on page 5-23.
A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and
DEX-COOL
® coolant will:
• Give freezing protection down to
−
34°F (
−
37°C).
• Give boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C).
• Protect against rust and corrosion.
• Help keep the proper engine temperature.
• Let the warning lights and gages work as
they should.
Notice: Using coolant other than DEX-COOL ® may
cause premature engine, heater core, or radiator
corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant may
require changing sooner, at the first maintenance
service after each 30,000 miles (50 000 km) or
24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs
would not be covered by your warranty. Always use
DEX-COOL
® (silicate-free) coolant in your vehicle.
