CHANGING THE AIR
CLEANER FILTER

!
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may some-
times operate even when the engine is
not running. Use extreme caution when
working near the blades of the cooling
fan so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blade. As the engine cool-
ant temperature decreases, the fan will
automatically shut off. This is a normal
condition.
CAUTION:
o Engine coolant can damage the fin-
ish of your car. If you spill engine
coolant on the car, wash it off thor-
oughly with clean water.
o The engine in your vehicle has alumi-
num engine parts and must be pro-
tected by an ethylene-glycol base
coolant to prevent corrosion and
freezing.
Do not use hard water. Hard water
can cause engine damage from cor-
rosion, overheating or freezing.
!
CAUTION:
o Operating your vehicle without a
proper air filter in place can result in
excessive engine wear.
o When removing the air cleaner filter,
be careful that dust or dirt does not
enter the air intake. These may re-
sult in damage to the air cleaner
filter.
