R-134a from system use R-134a recycling equipment that meets
SAE J2210 specifications. If accidental system discharge
occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
The anti-lock brake system contains electronic equipment that
can be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or
high output radio transmitting equipment. Since this interference
could cause the possible loss of the anti-lock braking capability,
such equipment should be installed by qualified professionals.
On models equipped with anti-lock brake systems, ALWAYS
observe the following cautions:
* DO NOT attempt to bleed hydraulic system without first
referring to the appropriate ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM article
in the BRAKES Section.
* DO NOT mix tire sizes. As long as tires remain close to the
original diameter, increasing the width is acceptable.
Rolling diameter must be identical for all 4 tires. Some
manufacturers recommend tires of the same brand, style and
type. Failure to follow this precaution may cause inaccurate
wheel speed readings.
* Use ONLY recommended brake fluids. DO NOT use silicone brake
fluids in an ABS-equipped vehicle.
REPLACING BLOWN FUSES
Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off
all lights and accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system. Be
sure to use fuse with the correct indicated amperage rating. The use
of an incorrect amperage rating fuse may result in a dangerous
electrical system overload.

proper performance of the emission control system. Reset warning
light, after the system has been checked, by pushing the reset switch
in front of the combination meter. Remove the warning light bulb after
the last maintenance service at 120,000 miles (150,000 miles on 1990-
91 models).
"A/T TEMPERATURE" WARNING LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
Light comes on when the automatic transmission fluid
temperature becomes abnormally high. If light comes on, reduce engine
speed, stop car and put it in "P" (Park) position. Leave engine
running until light goes out. Normal vehicle operation may be resumed
after light has gone out. If light does not go out, have the system
checked and serviced as necessary.
WHEEL LOCK INDICATOR LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
Light comes on when automatic free-wheeling hubs are locked.
If ignition is turned off, indicator light will not come on when
ignition switch is turned on again until vehicle begins to move, even
if free-wheeling hubs are in locked condition. Light comes on or goes
out by detecting vehicle speed (approximately 3 mph). When vehicle
speed is less than 3 mph, the condition of the automatic free-wheeling
hubs may not agree with the indicator until vehicle speed is
increased. If vehicle has been parked in extremely cold weather in 4WD
mode, the light may remain lit, even after switching to 2WD,
indicating that hubs are still locked.
