A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS The double sided keys may be inserted into the locks with either side up. The keys for your new vehicle are enclosed in a plastic bag with a bar code label affixed to the front. The bar code can be used to or der duplicate keys from your dealer or a locksmith.
The ⬙ Security Light ⬙ , located in the instrument cluster , will illuminate for about 2 seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON position. If the vehicle electronics do not r eceive a valid signal from the ignition key , the ⬙ Security Light ⬙ will flash continuously to signal that the vehicle has been immobilized.
Customer Key Programming Y ou can program new keys to the system if you have two valid keys by doing the following: 1. Insert the first valid key into the ignition and turn the ignition to the ON position for at least 3 seconds but no longer than 15 seconds.
IGNITION AND STEERING LOCK — IF EQUIPPED Manual T ransmissions Depress and hold the r elease button located between the ignition switch and the instrument panel. T urn the igni- tion key to LOCK and remove the key . DOOR KEY The same key used to start the vehicle is also used to unlock the doors.
W ARNING! When leaving the vehicle always remove the key from the ignition lock, and lock your vehicle. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause severe personal inju- ries and death.
As a safety feature the doors will not lock when using the door lock switches during the following condition: 1. The driver ’ s door is open while the key is in the ignition. Central Locking — If Equipped V ehicles with security will have a feature called ⬙ Central Locking ⬙ .
2. Fasten your seat belt (Fastening the seat belt will cancel any chiming that may confuse you during this programming pr ocedure). 3. Place the key into the ignition. 4. W ithin 10 seconds cycle the key from the OFF position to the ON position four times; ending in the ON position ( Do not start the engine ).
T o unlock the doors: Press and r elease the UNLOCK button on the key fob once to unlock only the driver ’ s door or twice to unlock all the doors. When the UNLOCK button is pressed, the illuminated entry will initiate, the parking lights will flash on twice and if installed, the cargo lamp will turn on for 30 seconds.
T o lock the doors: Press and r elease the LOCK button on the transmitter to lock all doors. If the ignition is OFF , when the doors are locked, the parking lights will flash on once and the horn will chirp once. The horn chirp feature will be shipped fr om the assembly plants activated.

T urn the ignition to the OFF position or wait 60 seconds to exit program mode. 14. Y our vehicle will remain in pr ogram mode for up to 60 seconds from when the original chime (i.
T ransmitter Battery Service The recommended r eplacement battery is a 3V lithium 2016 cell. This transmitter requir es two batteries. NOTE: Do not touch the battery terminals that are on the back housing or the printed circuit boar d. 1. W ith transmitter buttons facing down, use a flat blade or dime to pry the two halves of the transmitter apart.
SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED This system monitors the vehicle doors and ignition for unauthorized operation. When the alarm is activated, the system provides both audible and visual signals. For the first 3 minutes the horn will sound and the headlights and security telltale will flash repeatedly .
T o Disarm the System: Use the Keyless Entry transmitter or the key to turn the driver ’ s door lock to the unlock position. If something has triggered the system in your absence, the horn will sound three times when you unlock the doors and the security lamp will flash for 30 seconds.
WINDOWS Power Windows — If Equipped The control on the left fr ont door panel has up-down switches that give you fingertip control of all power windows. There is a single opening and closing switch on the front passenger door for passenger window contr ol.
Auto Down (Driver ’ s Side Only) The driver ’ s window switch has an Auto Down feature. Press the window switch past the detent, r elease, and the window will go down automatically . Sliding Rear Window A locking device in the center of the window helps to prevent entry fr om the rear of the vehicle.
W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buck- led up. Y ou can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly .
W ARNING! It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of the seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap.
W ARNING! • A belt buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won ’ t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can ’ t do its job as well.
Standard Cab Front Center Three Point Belt 1. The front center seat belt on the Standard Cab may be disconnected to open up utilization of the storage areas behind the front seats. The black latch plate can be detached from the black keyed seat belt buckle located on the inboard side of the passenger seat.
W ARNING! • If the black latch and black buckle are not prop- erly connected when the seat belt is used by an occupant, the seat belt will not be able to provide proper restraint and will increase the risk of injury in a collision. • When reattaching the black latch and black buckle, ensure the seat belt webbing is not twisted.
W ARNING! If the black latch and buckle are not connected when the seat belt is used by an occupant, the seat belt will not restrain you properly . Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front r ow outboard seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to help position the belt away from your neck.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average, you ’ ll prefer a higher position. When you r elease the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
NOTE: These devices are not a substitute for pr oper seat belt placement by the occupant. The seat belt still must be worn snugly and positioned properly . The pretensioners ar e triggered by the airbag contr ol module. Like the airbags, the pretensioners ar e single use items.
3. W ithin 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver ’ s seat belt at least thr ee times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled. 4. T urn off the engine. A single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully completed the pro- gramming.
W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision. Only use the seat belt extender when the lap belt is not long enough when it is worn low and snug, and in the recommended seating positions. Remove and store the extender when not needed.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
• Infants in rear facing child r estraints must NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger fr ont airbag unless the airbag is turned off (Standar d Cab V ehicles Only). An airbag deployment can cause se- vere injury or death to infants in that position.
Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Airbag Control Module • AIRBAG Readiness Light • Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag • Steering Wheel and Column • Inst.
How The Airbag System W orks • The airbag control module determines if a fr ontal collision is severe enough to r equire the airbags to inflate. • The airbag control module will not detect r oll over , or rear collisions.
• When the airbag control module detects a collision requiring the airbags, it signals the inflator units. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the airbags. The airbag covers separate and fold out of the way as the airbags inflate to their full size.
• is a child, age 1 to 12 who must ride in the front seat because there is no r ear seat, because there is no r ear seat position available, or because the child has a medical condition which makes .
If A Deployment Occurs The airbag system is designed to deploy when the air bag control module detects a moderate-to-sever e frontal col- lision, and then immediately to deflate. NOTE: A frontal collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags can ’ t protect you in another colli- sion. Have the airbags replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. W indow Airbags Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) — If Equipped The window airbag control module determines if a side collision is severe enough to r equire the side airbags to inflate.
Enhanced Accident Response System If the airbags deploy after an impact and the electrical system remains functional, vehicles equipped with power door locks will unlock automatically . In addition, approximately 10 seconds after the vehicle has stopped moving, the interior lights will light until the ignition switch is turned off.
Airbag Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in an impact. While the airbag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an a.
W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap can become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured.
• Children who weigh mor e than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are older than one year can ride forwar d-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing dir ection are for children who weigh 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg) and who are older than one year .
Here are some tips for getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any r estraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. W e also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it befor e you buy it.
• If the belt still can ’ t be tightened, or if pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, disconnect the latch plate from the buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again. If you still can ’ t make the child restraint secur e, try a differ ent seating position.
The LA TCH lower anchorage bars are located wher e the seatback meets the seat cushion. If the lower anchorage bars are not visible, identification dots ar e located above the standard cab fr ont seat lower anchorages as a guide for locating the lower anchors.
Installing the Child Restraint System W e urge that you car efully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child r estraint. Many , but not all, restraint systems will be equipped with separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or connector and a means for adjusting the tension in the strap.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to seat failure and injury to the child. In a collision, the seat could come loose and allow the child to crash into the inside of the vehicle or other passengers, or even be thrown from the vehicle.
Children T oo Large for Booster Seats Children who ar e large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably , and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seat back should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat.
• W ait until the engine has reached normal operating temperature befor e driving at the recommended maxi- mum break-in speed. • A void excessive idling. • Check the engine oil level at every fuel fill. NOTE: A new engine will consume some oil during the first few thousand miles of operation.
Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a poten- tially toxic gas that by itself is colorless and odorless. T o avoid inhaling these gases, the following precau- tions should be observed: • Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in confined areas any longer than needed to move your vehicle in or out of the area.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after an accident if they have been damaged (bent retractor , torn webbing, etc.

IGNITION/ST ARTER SWITCH LOCK Engages the steering wheel lock (if equipped) when the steering wheel is turned. OFF Unlocks the steering wheel (if equipped with locking wheel). ON This is the normal running position. ACC Allows the electrical accessories to be used when the engine is not running.
ST ARTING PROCEDURES The starter should not be operated for more than 15- second intervals. W aiting a few seconds between such intervals will protect the starter fr om overheating. Manual T ransmission Apply the parking brake, place the gearshift control lever in NEUTRAL and depress the clutch pedal to the floor before starting the vehicle.
Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine does not requir e pump- ing or depressing the accelerator pedal. T o start the vehicle, turn the key to the ON position and press the r ed ENGINE ST AR T button located on the instrument panel and r elease when the engine starts.
W ARNING! Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire causing serious personal injury . After Starting The idle speed is automatically controlled and will de- crease as the engine warms up.
Damage to the clutch can re- sult from starting in 2nd or 3rd gear with a loaded ve- hicle. Use each gear in nu- merical order – do not skip a gear . For improved clutch life, all six forwar d gears should be used. For steady highway driving with light acceleration, 6th gear is recommended.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION RECOMMENDED SHIFT SPEEDS 1-2 2-3 3-4 4-5 5-6 MPH 15 25 40 45 50 (km/h) (24) (40) (65) (72) (80) Higher upshift speeds may be used to obtain a desired acceleration rate. Downshifting Moving from a high gear down to a lower gear is recommended to pr eserve brakes when driving down steep hills.
The limited-slip differ ential is especially helpful during slippery driving conditions. W ith both rear wheels on a slippery surface, a slight application of the accelerator will supply maximum traction.
Be sure the parking brake is firmly set when parked and the gear shift lever is in the REVERSE position. W ARNING! • Always fully apply the parking brake when leav- ing your vehicle, or it may roll and cause damage or injury . Also be certain to leave a manual transmission in Reverse or first gear .
When parking on a hill, turn the front wheels towar d the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade. The parking brake should always be applied whenever the driver is not in the vehicle.
The system ’ s pump motor runs during an ABS stop to provide r egulated hydraulic pressur e. The pump motor makes a low humming noise during operation. This is normal. When you are in a sever e braking condition involving use of the Anti-lock Brake System, you will experience some pedal drop as the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
W ARNING! • Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency be- yond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P(Passenger)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “ P ” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light T ruck tire based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index — A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tir e can carry . H = Speed Symbol — A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tir e can carry a load corresponding to its load index under certain operating conditions.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire however the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN including date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and T ire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: Some vehicles have a “ T ire and Loading Infor- mation ” placard located on the driver ’ s side “ B ” pillar .
Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. Y ou will not exceed the tire ’ s load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loa.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 1. Locate the statement “ The combined weight of occu- pants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds ” on your vehicle ’ s placard. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
170 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tire is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy — Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Underinflation also increases tir e rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
The pressur e should be checked and adjusted as well as inspecting for signs of tire wear or visible damage at least once a month. Use a good quality pocket-type gauge to check tire pr essure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation.
T ire pressur e may increase from 2 to 6 psi (13 to 40 kPa) during operation. DO NOT reduce this normal pr essure build up or your tire pr essure will be too low . T ire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits.
Radial-Ply Tires W ARNING! Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to handle poorly . The instability could cause an accident. Al- ways use radial ply tires in sets of four (or 6, in case of trucks with dual rear wheels).
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spar e wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators ar e in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves and will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm).
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combina- tions of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance charac- teristics, resulting in changes to steering, han- dling, and braking of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will r educe vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear .
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ- ing link and cable (radial) chains. T ire chain use is permitted only on the rear tir es of SR T – 10 Models. NOTE: The use of class “ S ” chains is permitted on SR T – 10 Models with the use of 17 x 8 steel wheels (part number 521 13265AC) available from your authorized dealer .
TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform differ ent steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates, and develop irregular wear patterns.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS Y our vehicle is designed to meet all emis- sion regulations and pr ovide excellent fuel economy when using high quality pre- mium unleaded gasoline having an octane rating of 91 or higher . Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not harmful to your engine.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with mate- rials called oxygenates such as 10% alcohol, MTBE, ETBE or T AME. Oxygenates are r equired in some areas of the country during the winter months to reduce carbon monoxide emissions.
Sulfur In Gasoline Y our vehicle may have been designed to meet California low emission standards on clean burning, low sulfur , California gasoline. Gasoline sold outside of California is allowed to have higher sulfur levels that may affect the performance of your vehicle ’ s catalytic converter .

the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repair ed promptly . Until repaired, drive with all side windows fully open. ADDING FUEL NOTE: The fuel tank filler tube is about 2 inches (50 mm) down from the opening.
CAUTION! Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. W ARNING! • Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap) slowly to prevent fuel spray from the filler neck which may cause injury .
CA T AL YTIC CONVERTER The catalytic converter requir es the use of unleaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emission control device. Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic converter will not requir e maintenance.
As with any vehicle, do not park or operate this vehicle in areas wher e combustible materials such as grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust system. A scorching odor may be detected if you continue to run a malfunctioning engine. The odor may indicate severe and abnormal catalyst overheating.
The label also specifies maximum capacities of front and rear axle systems (GA WR). T otal load must be limited so GVWR and front and r ear GA WR are not exceeded. Payload The payload of a vehicle is defined as the allowable load weight a truck can carry , including the weight of the driver , all passengers, options and cargo.
Loading The actual total weight and the weight of the front and rear of your vehicle at the gr ound can best be determined by weighing it when it is loaded and ready for operation. The entire vehicle should first be weighed on a commer - cial scale to insure that the GVWR has not been exceeded.
NOTE: The weights shown in this chart are not necessarily the weights for your vehicle. Also, the amount of load added to both the front and rear axles can be computed after the vehicle has been weighed both in its ⴖ curb weight ⴖ condition, and in its ⴖ loaded and ready for operation ⴖ condition.
CAUTION! Using this vehicle for snowplow applications can cause damage to the vehicle. W ARNING! Attaching a snowplow to this vehicle could ad- versely affect performance of the airbag system in an accident.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (OBD II) Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions and engine control systems.
For states which have an I/M (Inspection and Maintenance) requir ement, this check verifies the following: the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is functioning and is not on when the engine is running, and that the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) system is r eady for testing.
b. The MIL light will r emain fully illuminated until the first engine crank or the key is turned off. This means that your vehicle ’ s OBD system is ready and you can proceed to the I/M station. If your OBD system is not ready , you should see your dealer or repair facility .
W ARNING! Y ou can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Do only that service work for which you have the knowledge and the proper equipment. If you have any doubt about your ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level r eadings. Maintain the oil level between the ADD and SAFE markings on the dipstick. Adding one quart of oil when the reading is at the ADD mark will r esult in a SAFE reading on these engines.
• More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather , above 32 ° C (90 ° F) • T axi, Police or delivery service (commercial service) • Off-r oad or desert operation • If equipped for and operating with E-85 (ethanol) fuel.
Engine Oil Identification (API) Symbol There is a symbol to aid you in selecting the pr oper engine oil. This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). W e only recommend synthetic API Certified engine oils, such as Mo- bil 1 威 , that meet the requir ements of Material Standard MS-10725.
Materials Added to Engine Oil Do not add any materials (other than leak detection dyes) to engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered pr oduct and it ’ s performance may be impaired by supplemental addi- tives. Disposing of Used Engine Oil And Oil Filters Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil and oil filters from your vehicle.
Spark Plugs Spark plugs must fire pr operly to assure engine perfor - mance and emission control. New plugs should be in- stalled at the specified mileage. The entire set should be replaced if ther e is any malfunction due to a faulty spark plug, malfunctioning spark plugs can damage the cata- lytic converter .
Catalytic Converter The catalytic converter requir es the use of unleaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emission control device. Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not requir e maintenance.
W ARNING! A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your ex- haust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact any- thing that can burn.
Check the ventilation hose for indication of damage or plugging deposits. Replace if necessary . Maintenance Free Battery The top of the maintenance free battery is permanently sealed. Y ou will never have to add water , nor is periodic maintenance requir ed.
W ARNING! Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Don ’ t allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin or clothing. Don ’ t lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area immediately with large amounts of water .
W ARNING! • Use only refrigerants approved by the manufac- turer for your air conditioning system. Some un- approved refrigerants are flammable and can ex- plode, injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants can cause the system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
W ARNING! Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and with the engine off to prevent injury from moving parts and to insure accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill. Use only manufacturers recommended power steering fluid. If necessary , add fluid to restore to the pr oper indicated level.
Body Lubrication Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as seat tracks, doors, tailgate and hood hinges, should be lubricated periodically to assure quiet, easy operation and to protect against r ust and wear .
T o prevent fr eeze-up of your windshield washer system in cold weather , select a solution or mixture that meets or exceeds the temperature range of your climate. This rating information can be found on most washer fluid containers. W ARNING! Commercially available windshield washer solvents are flammable.
W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you.
Check the coolant reserve tank tube for condition and tightness or connections at the reserve tank and radiator . Check the coolant pressur e cap and coolant reserve system for proper vacuum sealing. W ith the engine at normal operating temperature, note the level of the coolant in the coolant reserve tank.
Adding Coolant When adding coolant or refilling system, a 50% solution of ethylene glycol antifreeze coolant in water should be used. Higher concentrations (not to exceed 65%) are requir ed if temperatures below -34 F ° (-37 C ° ) are antici- pated.
CAUTION! Mixing of coolants other than specified (non- HOA T), may result in engine damage that may not be covered under the new vehicle warranty , and decreased corrosion protection. If a non-HOA T cool- ant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency , it should be replaced with the specified coolant as soon as possible.
W ARNING! The warning words “ DO NOT OPEN HOT ” on the radiator pressure cap are a safety precaution. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system. T o prevent scalding or injury , do not remove the pres- sure cap. Hoses And V acuum/V apor Harnesses Inspect surfaces of hoses and nylon tubing for evidence of heat and mechanical damage.
The brake master cylinder has a translucent plastic reservoir . On the outboard side of the r eservoir , there is a “ MAX ” dot and an “ MIN ” dot. The fluid level must be kept within these two dots. Do not add fluid above the MAX mark, because leakage may occur at the cap.
Brake Hoses Inspection should be performed whenever the brake system is serviced or at intervals specified. Inspect hy- draulic brake hoses for surface cracking, scuffing or worn spots.
Drain and Refill V ehicles operated in normal service do not have regularly scheduled oil changes. If fluid has become contaminated with water or to provide the corr ect viscosity grade, drain and refill. Lubricant Selection Refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
