Black plate (264,1) Automatic T ransaxle Fluid (A TF) q Inspecting Automatic T ransaxle Fluid Level The autom atic transaxle fluid level should be inspected regularly . Measure it as described below . 2.3-liter engine CAUTION l Always check the automatic transaxle fluid level according to the following procedure.
Black plate (265,1) 9. Shift the shif t lever to the park position (P), check the A TF level while the engine is idling, and make sure that the A TF level is within the proper level. If the A TF level is not within the proper level, add A TF . The proper fluid level is marked on the dipstick as follows.
Black plate (266,1) Fluid cold scale B When the engine has not been running and the outside temperature is abo ut 20°C (70°F), the fluid level should be close to, but not above, the bott om notch on the dipstick. CAUTION l Use the cold scale only as a reference.
Black plate (267,1) Inspect flui d level in the washer fluid reservoir; add fluid if necessary . T o inspect the washer fluid level in the front reser voir , pull off the cap. Then, holding y our thumb over the hole in the center of the cap, lift it straight up.
Black plate (268,1) Air Filter CAUTION Don't drive without an air filter. This could resul t in excess ive engine wear . This air filter may be cleaned with compressed air and reused, or replaced, depending on its condition. Unless it is very dirty , simply shake it to remove foreign pa rticles.
Black plate (269,1) 5. Wipe inside the air cleaner housi ng with a damp cloth. 6. Clean or repla ce the filter. 7. Install in the reverse order of remo val.
Black plate (270,1) If the blades are not wiping properly , clean the window and blades with a good cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse thoroughly wi th clean water . Repeat if necessary . q Replacing Windshield Wiper Blades When the wipers no longer clean well, the blades are probably worn or cracked.
Black plate (271,1) CAUTION l Don't bend or discard the stiffeners. Y ou need to use them again. l If the metal stiffeners are switched, the blade's wiping efficiency could be reduced . So don't use the drive r's side met al stiffeners on the passenger's side, or vice versa.
Black plate (272,1) 3. Remove the metal stiffeners from the blade rubber and install them in new blades. CAUTION Don't bend or discard the stiffeners. Y ou need to use them again. 4. Carefully insert the new blade rubber . Then inst all the blade assembly in the reverse order of removal.
Black plate (273,1) Battery W ARNING Battery-Related Lead Materials: Battery posts, terminal s and related access ories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. W ash hands after handling.
Black plate (274,1) W ARNING Keep Flame s A way: Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous . Hydrogen gas, produced during norma l battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explod e. An exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries.
Black plate (275,1) NOTE Remove the battery cover before performing battery mai ntenance. q Battery Maintenance T o get the best servi ce from a battery: l Keep it securely mounted. l Keep the top clean and dry . l Keep terminals and connections clean, tight, and coated with petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
