Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after the
engine is started in extremely cold condi-
tions (below -20°C). If the noise stops dur-
ing warm up, there is no abnormal function
in the system. This is due to a power steer-
ing fluid characteristic in extremely cold
conditions.

The engine cooling fan should come on auto-
matically if the engine coolant temperature is
high.
