How to Check Automatic Transmission
Fluid
It is not necessary to check the transmission
fluid level. A transmission fluid leak is the
only reason for fluid loss. If a leak occurs,
contact Vanderhall Service as soon as
possible.
There is a special procedure for checking
and changing the transmission fluid.
Because this procedure is difficult, you
should have this done by a professional.
Change the fluid at the intervals listed in
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 92, and be sure
to use the fluid listed in RECOMMENDED
FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS 97.
Engine Air Filter
The engine air filter is located at the center
rear of the engine compartment. SEE
ENGINE COMPARTMENT OVERVIEW 63
When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
For intervals on changing and inspecting
the engine air filter, SEE MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE 92
How to Inspect the Engine Air Filter
Do not start the engine or have the engine
running without the engine air filter.
Remove the engine air filter. Lightly tap
and shake the engine air filter (away from
the vehicle), to release loose dust and dirt.
Inspect the engine air filter for damage,
replace if damage is found. Replace if dust
and dirt is not easily removed.
Engine Coolant
The cooling system in the vehicle is filled
with DEX-COOL engine coolant. This
coolant is designed to remain in the vehicle
for 5 years or 150,000 mi (240 000 km),
whichever occurs first.
The following explains the cooling system
and how to check and add coolant when it
is low. If there is a problem with engine
overheating, SEE ENGINE OVERHEATING
ERROR! BOOKMARK NOT DEFINED..
Use a 50/50 mixture of clean drinkable
water and DEX-COOL coolant. This mixture:
Gives freezing protection down to
-34 °F (−37 °C), outside
temperature.
Gives boiling protection up to 265
°F (129 °C ), engine temperature.
Protects against rust and
corrosion.
Will not damage aluminum parts.
