Have an authorized dealer check and
change the transmission fluid at the
correct service interval. See
Scheduled
Maintenance
(page 363). Your
transmission does not consume fluid.
However, if the transmission slips, shifts
slowly or if you notice a sign of leaking
fluid, contact an authorized dealer.
Do not use supplemental transmission
fluid additives, treatments or cleaning
agents. The use of these materials may
affect transmission operation and result
in damage to internal transmission
components.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK
Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX
lines are within the normal operating range;
there is no need to add fluid. If the fluid
levels are outside of the normal operating
range, the performance of the system
could be compromised; seek service from
your authorized dealer immediately.
POWER STEERING FLUID
CHECK
WARNING
Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. This could cause serious
personal injury. Rinse the affected
areas immediately with plenty of water
and consult a physician.
If the power steering fluid level is not
between the
MAX
and
MIN
marks, add
power steering fluid that meets the correct
specification. See
Capacities and
Specifications
(page 281).
Adding Power Steering Fluid
1.
Remove the filler cap.
2. Add power steering fluid to the
MAX
mark. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you
feel a strong resistance.
WASHER FLUID CHECK
Note:
The reservoir supplies the front and
rear washer systems.
When adding fluid, use a mixture of washer
fluid and water to help prevent freezing in
cold weather and improve the cleaning
capability. We recommend that you use
only high quality washer fluid.
For information on fluid dilution, refer to
the product instructions.
DRAINING THE FUEL FILTER
WATER TRAP
WARNING
Do not dispose of fuel in the
household refuse or the public
sewage system. Use an authorized
waste disposal facility.
Your vehicle is fitted with a diesel fuel
conditioner module located behind the fuel
tank.
A warning lamp will illuminate
and a message will be displayed
when approximately 3.38 fl oz
(100 ml) of water accumulates in the
module. If you allow the water level to
exceed this level, the water may pass
through to the engine and may cause fuel
injection equipment damage.
Note:
To drain the fuel filter water trap,
access the underside of your vehicle.
