How
to
Add
Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle fluid to use. See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough
of
the proper
fluid to bring the
level
into the cross-hatched area on
the dipstick.
1.
Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at
the
dipstick hole to bring it to
the
proper level.
It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than one
pint
(0.5
L).
Don’t
overfill.
NOTICE:
We recommend you use only fluid labeled
DEXRON@-111,
because fluid with that label is
made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid other than
DEXRON-I11
is not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
3.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under “How to Check.”
4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the way.
Engine
Coolant
The cooling
s
stem in your
vehicle
is filled with
DEX-COOL engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to
remain in your vehicle for
5
years
or
150,000
miles
(240
000
km) whichever occurs first, if you add only
DEX-COOL6 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 or if you need
to
add coolant to your
radiator, see “Engine Overheating”
in
the Index.
A
50/50
mixture of water and DEX-COOL@
coolant will:
Give freezing protection down to
-34°F
(-37°C).
Give boiling protection up
to
265
“F
(1
29°C).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
