CARE AND MAINTENANCE
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER
Replace automatic transmission fluid and oil filter
cartridge after first 5,000 miles (8 000 km) and
then every 12,500 miles (40 000 km).
COOLANT SYSTEM STRAINER
The coolant system strainer is designed to
recover the soldering residues trapped inside the
coolant lines during their initial assembly. Clean
strainer after first 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and
then every 50,000 miles (80 000 km). Refer to
the Maintenance Manual under section 05:
Cooling System.
Note: If soldering has been performed on
cooling system, clean strainer after 3,000 miles
(5 000 km).
CHANGING WHEELS
In case of a flat tire, turn ON the hazard flashers
and bring the vehicle to a stop on the side of the
road. Apply the parking brake. Make sure the
vehicle is parked safely away from traffic. Set up
the triangular reflectors in accordance with
applicable highway regulations.
We suggest that you do not attempt to change a
wheel. First, the wheel and tire are very heavy
and usually there is no space available to put the
removed flat. Second, the wheel nuts, especially
those on inner dual, can become very tight after
being on for only a short time. Often a heavy air
wrench is required to get these nuts loose. We
suggest you get help via CB radio or cellular
phone. There are tire service trucks all over the
country who can bring a wheel and make the
change safely.

three are located on each side of the frame and
