A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS The dealer that sold you your new vehicle has the key code numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to order duplicate keys fr om your dealer . Ask your dealer for these numbers and keep them in a safe place. The double sided keys may be inserted into the locks with either side up.
inoperable. The engine can be started and stopped but the key cannot be removed until you obtain service. W ARNING! Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is danger- ous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector lever .
SENTR Y KEY The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents unautho- rized operation of the vehicle by disabling the engine. The system will shut the engine off after 2 seconds of running if an invalid key is used to start the vehicle. This system utilizes ignition keys which have an electronic chip (transponder) embedded into them.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electr onics. Replacement Keys NOTE: Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. Once a Sentry Key has been programmed to a vehicle, it can not be programmed to any other vehicle.
Repeat this procedur e to program up to a total of 8 keys. If you do not have a programmed sentry key , contact your dealer for details. General Information The Sentry Key system complies with FCC rules part 15 and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference.
Automatic T ransaxle Ignition Interlock System This system prevents the key fr om being removed unless the shift lever is in P ARK and the shift knob push-button is fully released. It also pr events shifting out of P ARK unless the key is in the ON/RUN or ST AR T positions and you have depressed the brake pedal.
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.
4. A single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully disabled the double activation feature. Y ou can turn the feature back on by r epeating the above mentioned procedur e. Y ou can turn the feature back on by r epeating the above mentioned procedur e.
T o use the system, open each rear door and slide the control UP to engage the locks and DOWN to disengage the child-protection locks. When the system on a door is engaged, that door can only be opened by using the outside door handle even if the inside door lock is in the unlocked position.
T o Lock the Doors Press and r elease the LOCK button to lock all doors. The park/lamps will flash and the horn will chirp to ac- knowledge the signal. Horn Chirp Feature The horn chirp that signals that the doors have been locked can be toggled on or off by using the following procedur e: 1.
Programming Additional T ransmitters Up to four transmitters can be programmed to your vehicle. Y our new vehicle was shipped with two trans- mitters. See your dealer for additional transmitters. Additional transmitters can be programmed to the sys- tem by using the following procedur e: 1.
1. W ith the transmitter buttons facing down, use a thin coin or similar object to pry the two halves of the transmitter apart. Make sure not to damage the r ubber gasket during removal. 2. Remove and replace the batteries. A void touching the new batteries with your fingers.
3. The indicator light in the instrument cluster will flash rapidly for 16 seconds. This shows that the system is arming. During this period, if a door is opened, the ignition switch is turned on, or the power door locks are unlocked in any manner , the system will automatically disarm.
INTERNAL EMERGENCY TRUNK LID RELEASE W ARNING! Do not allow children to have access to the trunk, either by climbing into the trunk from outside, or through the inside of the vehicle. Always close the trunk lid when your vehicle is unattended. Once in the trunk, young children may not be able to escape, even if they entered through the rear seat.
POWER WINDOWS — IF EQUIPPED The window switches on the driver’s door panel control both front windows. The switch on the passenger’s door panel controls the passenger’s window . OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the r estraint systems.
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! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. • W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of the front seat, next to your arm in the rear 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. 3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure Use the following procedur e to untwist a twisted lap/ shoulder belt. 1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point.
2. At about 6 to 12 inches above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180° to create a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate. 3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded webbing. The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the latch plate.
Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take the force if ther e is a collision. Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short, even .
If the vehicle is equipped with side airbags, they are located inside the driver and front passenger seats, and their covers are also labeled SRS AIRBAG. NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deploy- ment.
Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instr u- ment panel knee bolsters to provide impr oved protection for the driver and front passenger . Side airbags also work with seat belts to improve occupant pr otection.
3. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the front airbags room to inflate. 4. If your vehicle has side airbags, do not lean against the door , airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door .
Airbag System Components The front airbag system consists of the following: • Airbag Control Module (ACM) • AIRBAG Readiness Light • Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag • Steering Wheel and Col.
• The Airbag Control Module also turns on the AIRBAG light in the instrument panel for 6 to 8 seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to ON/RUN, then turns the light off. If it detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the light either momen- tarily or continuously .
• The knee impact bolsters help protect the knees and position you for the best interaction with the front airbag. If A Deployment Occurs The airbag system is designed to deploy when the Airbag Control Module detects a moderate-to-sever e frontal collision, to help restrain the driver and fr ont passenger , and then to immediately deflate.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags can’t protect you in another colli- sion. Have the airbags replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Side Airbag System — If Equipped • The Side Impact Airbag Control Modules determine if a side collision is severe enough to r equire the airbag to inflate.
Maintaining Y our Airbag Systems W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you.
Children 12 years and under should ride pr operly buck- led up in a rear seat, if available. According to crash statistics, children ar e safer when properly restrained in the rear seats, rather than in the fr ont. W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle.
• 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 .
• The restraint must be appr opriate for your child’s weight and height. Check the label on the restraint for weight and height limits. • Carefully follow the instr uctions that come with the restraint. If you install the r estraint improperly , it may not work when you need it.
the rear seat to install the child r estraint. Y ou will easily feel them if you run your finger along the intersection of the surfaces. The lower strap hooks are passed over the top of each bar , pushing aside the seat cover material.
3. Attach the tether strap hook (A) of the child restraint to the anchor (B) and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child r estraint manufacturer’s instruc- tions. W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child.
W ARNING! Do not install child restraint systems equipped with LA TCH attachments at all three rear seating posi- tions at one time. The LA TCH anchorages are de- signed to restrain no more than two child restraints at a time in the event of a collision.
• The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug as possible. • Check belt fit periodically . A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle.
SAFETY TIPS Exhaust Gas 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. T o avoid breathing (CO) follow the safety tips below .
Defrosters Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. Y ou should be able to feel the air directed against the windshield. Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tr ead wear or uneven wear patterns.

Select a mirror and pr ess one of the four arrows for the direction you want the mirr or to move. SEA TS Front Seat Adjustment The adjusting bar is at the front of the seats, near the floor .
W ARNING! • Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted and you could be injured. Adjust the seat only while the vehicle is parked.
Adjustable Head Restraints Head restraints can r educe the risk of whiplash injury in the event of impact from the r ear . Pull up or push down on the restraints so that the upper edge is as high as practical. Push in on the release button to lower the head restraint.
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.
Then lift the safety catch located under the front edge of the hood, near the center and raise the hood. Use the hood prop r od to secure the hood in the open position as shown. T o prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it. Use a firm downward push at the center of the hood to ensure that both latches engage.
LIGHTS Front Map/Reading Lights — If Equipped These lights, located under the rearview mirr or , can be turned on by means of switches located at the base of the rearview mirr or . NOTE: The map lights will remain on when the ignition switch is in the Run or Accessory positions.

Daytime Brightness Feature Certain instrument panel components can be illuminated at full brightness during the daytime.
Daytime Running Lights (Canada Only) The front fog lights will come on as Daytime Running Lights whenever the ignition is on, the headlights are of f, and the parking brake is off.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND W ASHERS The wipers and washers are operated by a switch on the control lever . The lever is located on the right side of the steering column. Move the con- trol lever up to select the desir ed wiper speed. Windshield W ashers T o use the washer , pull the control lever towar d you and hold while spray is desired.
the end of the lever . Rotate the knob upward (clockwise) to decrease the delay time and downwar d (counterclock- wise) to increase the delay time. The delay can be regulated fr om a maximum of approximately 18 seconds between cycles, to a cycle every second.
W ARNING! T ilting the steering column while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. W ithout a stable steering col- umn, you could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident. Adjust the column only while the ve- hicle is stopped. Be sure it is locked before driving.
W ARNING! Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous. Y ou could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. Y ou could lose control and have an accident. Always leave the system OFF when you are not using it.
Manual T ransaxle: Depressing the clutch pedal will disengage the speed control. A slight increase in engine RPM befor e the speed control disengages is normal. V ehicles equipped with manual transaxles may need to be shifted into a lower gear to climb hills without speed loss.
POWER SUNROOF — IF EQUIPPED The sunroof contr ol is located on the headliner between the sun visors. A single control “tilts” the sunroof to the vent position and also slides the sunroof r earward to the full open position. Move the switch rearwar d to move the sunroof panel to the full vent position.
Sunroof Maintenance Use only a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the glass panel. Wind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the ears.
Ash Receiver and Cigar Lighter When the Smoker’s Package is order ed from your autho- rized dealer , an ash receiver tray and a cigar lighter element are furnished. The lighter element can be in- serted in the auxiliary power outlet. The ash receiver fits snugly in a cupholder position.

RADIO OPERA TION AND CELLULAR PHONES Under certain conditions, the operation of a cellular phone in your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy perfor- mance from your radio. This condition may be lessened or eliminated by relocating the cellular phone antenna.
Bi-Level Air is directed thr ough the panel and floor out- lets. NOTE: There is a dif ference in temperature between the upper and lower outlets for added comfort. The warmer air goes to the floor outlets. This feature gives impr oved comfort during sunny but cool conditions.
Outside Air Intake When operating the system during the winter months, make sure the air intake, dir ectly in front of the wind- shield, is free of ice, slush, snow or other obstr uctions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake plenum may reduce air flow and plug the plenum water drains.
fan speed increases as you move the contr ol counter- clockwise from the OFF position. NOTE: The air conditioning compressor will not en- gage until the engine has been running for about 10 seconds. Fan speeds to the right of OFF are for heater or ventila- tion operation.
Mix Air is directed thr ough the floor , defrost and side window demist outlets. This setting works best in cold or snowy conditions that requir e extra heat at the windshield. This setting is good for main- taining comfort while reducing moistur e on the wind- shield.
Circulation Control Use this control to choose be- tween outside air intake or recir culation of the air inside the vehicle. Only use the re- circulate mode to temporarily block out any outside odors, smoke, or dust and to cool the interior rapidly upon initial start up in very hot or humid weather .
Operating Tips 108 UNDERST ANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT P ANEL.
W indow Fogging V ehicle side windows tend to fog on the inside in mild rainy or humid weather . T o clear the windows, use the A/C, P ANEL and blower controls. Direct the panel outlets toward the side windows. Do not use r ecirculate without A/C for long periods as fogging may occur .
ELECTRIC REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER A push-button at the center of the instrument panel, below the radio, turns the defroster and the heated mirrors (if equipped) ON or OFF . An amber light shows that the defroster is on. NOTE: The defroster turns of f automatically after 10 minutes of operation.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle.
Starting in Cold Weather (Below 32°F of 0°C) Slightly depress and hold the accelerator befor e starting the engine. T urn the key to the ST AR T position.
CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. W ait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again. After Starting The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine warms up.
NOTE: If a malfunction occurs, the system will trap the key in the ignition cylinder to warn you that this safety feature is inoperable. The engine can be started and stopped but the key cannot be removed until you obtain service. Four Speed Automatic T ransaxle The electronically contr olled transaxle provides a precise shift schedule.
W ARNING! Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, you should always shift the vehicle into P (Park), remove the key from the ignition, and apply the parking brake.
When frequent transaxle shifting occurs while using the Overdrive range, such as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading conditions (in hilly terrain, travel- ing into strong head winds, or while towing trailers), use the “3” range. “3” Drive This range eliminates shifts into Overdrive.
Never shift into REVERSE until the vehicle has come to a complete stop. NOTE: During cold weather , until the transaxle lubri- cant has warmed, you may have difficulty shifting.
If you exceed these speeds, you may notice the engine cut in and out. This is caused by an electronic limiter in the engine computer . The engine will run normally when you reduce engine speed. Downshifting Proper downshifting may impr ove fuel economy and prolong engine life.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sur e that the parking brake is set. T o set the parking brake, pull up firmly on the lever . Also place the gear selector in the Park position (automatic transaxle) or Reverse (manual transaxle). T o release the parking brake, apply the brake pedal and pull up on the parking brake lever .
W ARNING! • Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dan- gerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake or the gear selector . Don’t leave the keys in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
malfunction is caused by an internal leak, as the brake fluid in the master cylinder drops, the brake warning indicator will light. Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) — If Equipped The ABS gives increased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions.
POWER STEERING The power assisted steering system of your vehicle provides mechanical steering capability in the event power assist is lost. If for some reason the hydraulic pr essure is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these conditions you will observe a substantial increase in steering effort.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ( ....blank.... ( = 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 tire can carry . H = Speed Symbol —A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire 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 loadi.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
132 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 tire rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap–if equipped. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard are always “cold tire inflation pr essure”.
W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious accident. Don’t drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
CAUTION! Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take your vehicle through an automatic car wash with the compact spare installed. Damage to the vehicle may result. Tire Spinning When stuck in mud, sand, snow , or ice conditions, do not spin your vehicle’s wheels above 35 mph (55 km/h).
Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle pr ovide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tir e inflation pressure.
CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings. Alignment And Balance Poor suspension alignment may result in: • Fast tire wear . • Uneven tire wear , such as feathering and one-sided wear .
CAUTION! T o avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the following precautions: • Because of restricted chain clearance between tires and other suspension components, it is im- portant that only chains in good condition are used. Broken chains can cause serious damage.
Tire Rotation Recommendations T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, driving and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates, and tend to develop irregular wear pat- terns.

the oil level between the MIN and MAX markings on the dipstick. Adding one quart of oil when the reading is at the MIN mark will result in a MAX r eading on these engines. CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure.
NOTE: If ANY of these apply to you then change your engine oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or 3 months, whichever comes first and follow schedule “B” of the 9 Maintenance Schedules 9 section of this manual.
Synthetic Engine Oils There ar e a number of engine oils being promoted as either synthetic or semi-synthetic. If you chose to use such a product, use only those oils that ar e American Petroleum Institute (API) Certified and SAE viscosity standard. Follow the service schedule that describes your driving type.
Drive Belts — Check Condition and T ension At the mileage shown in the maintenance schedules, check all drive belts for condition and proper tension.
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.
Fuel Filter A plugged fuel filter can cause hard starting or limit the speed at which a vehicle can be driven. Should an excessive amount of dirt accumulate in the fuel tank, frequent filter r eplacement may be necessary . Air Cleaner Element (Filter) Under normal driving conditions, replace the filter at the intervals shown on Schedule “A”.
W ARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con- tain lead and lead compounds. W ash hands after handling. 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.
a gentle water spray from behind the radiator and through the condenser as r equired. Fabric front fascia protectors may r educe air flow to the condenser , reducing air conditioning performance. W ARNING! The air conditioning system contains refrigerant under high pressure.
If necessary , add fluid to restore to the pr oper indicated level. W ith a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all surfaces. Refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid types. Front Suspension Ball Joints There ar e two front suspension lower ball joints that are permanently lubricated.

Check the front of the radiator for an accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. Clean the radiator by gently spraying water from a gar den hose at the back of the core. Check the recovery bottle tank tubing for condition and tightness of connection at the bottle and radiator .
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.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces. W ARNING! The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety precaution. never add coolant when the engine is overheated.
of the engine compartment. This is normally a result of moisture fr om rain, snow , or high humidity accumula- tion on the radiator and being vaporized when the thermostat opens, allowing hot water to enter the radia- tor . If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven.
Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou- plings to make sure they ar e secure and no leaks are present. Components should be replaced immediately if ther e is any evidence of degradation that could cause failure. Brake System In order to assur e brake system performance, all brake system components should be inspected periodically .
NOTE: Inspection of brake hoses should be done whenever the brake system is serviced and every engine oil change. W ARNING! W orn brake hoses can burst and cause brake failure. Y ou could have an accident. If you see any signs of cracking, scuffing, or worn spots, have the brake hoses replaced immediately .
W ARNING! Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire. Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination from for eign matter .
T o check the fluid level properly , the following procedure must be used: 1. The vehicle must be on level ground. 2. The engine should be running at curb idle speed for at minimum of 60 seconds. 3. Fully apply parking brake. 4. Place the gear selector momentarily in each gear position ending with the lever in P (P ARK).
CAUTION! Do not overfill. Dirt and water in the transaxle can cause serious damage. T o prevent dirt and water from entering the transaxle after checking or replen- ishing fluid, make certain that the dipstick cap is seated properly .
Frequency of Fluid Change Under normal operating conditions, the fluid installed at the factory will give satisfactory lubrication for the life of the vehicle. Fluid changes are not necessary unless the following conditions exist: • The lubricant has become contaminated with water .
W ashing • W ash your vehicle regularly . Always wash your ve- hicle in the shade using a mild car wash soap, and rinse the panels completely with clear water . • If insects, tar or other similar deposits have accumu- lated on your vehicle, wash it as soon as possible.
• If your vehicle is damaged due to an accident or similar cause which destroys the paint and pr otective coating, have your vehicle repair ed as soon as pos- sible. The cost of such repairs is consider ed the respon- sibility of the owner . • If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers, deicer salt, etc.
