Safety Belt Reminder Light
8 -10
When the’key is turned to
RUN or START, a chime
will come on for about eight
seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts,
unless the driver’s safety
belt is already buckled. The
safety belt light Will also
come on and stay on until
the driver’s belt is buckled.
Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows
i?lIR BAG or shows the air bag
symbol. The system checks the air bag’s electrical
system for malfunctions. The light ‘tells you if there is an
electrical problem. The system check includes the air
bag sensors and modules, the wiring and the diagnostic
module. For more information on the air bag system, ,see
“Air Bag” in the Index.
’ You will see this light flash
for a few seconds when you
turn your ignition to RUN
or START. Then the light
should go out. This means
the system is ready.
If the air bag readiness light doesn’t come on when you
start your vehicle, or stays on, or comes on when you
are driving, your air bag system may not work properly.,
Have your vehicle serviced right away.

cause the trailer to come in contact with the
vehicle. Your vehicle could
be damaged. Avoid Driving On Grades
I- making very sharp turns while trailering. I
When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider turns
than normal.
Do this so your trailer won’t strike soft
shoulders, curbs, road
signs, trees, or other objects.
Avoid,jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in
advance.
lhrn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has to have a
different turn signal flasher and extra wiring. The green
arrows on your instrument panel will flash whenever
you signal a turn
or lane change. Properly hooked up,
the trailer lamps
will also flash, telling other drivers
you’re about to turn, change lanes or,stop. Reduce
speed and shift to a lower gear
before you start
down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t shift
down, you might have to use your brakes
so much that
they would get hot and no longer work well.
On a long uphill grade, shift down and reduce your
speed to around
45 mph (70 kdh) to reduce the
possibility of engine and transaxle overheating.
If you are towing a trailer, you may prefer to drive in
THIRD (3) instead of DRIVE (D) (or, as you need to, a
lower gear).

Fuses -and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
shdrkircuits by a combination of fuses, circuit'breakers,
and fusible thekal links in the wiring itself. This
greatly reduces the chance
of fires caused by electrical
problems.
Some fuses are in
a fuse block on the passenger side of
the instrument panel. Pull off the cover labeled
FUSES
to expose the fuses. Additional fuses are in the
underhood electrical centers on the right and left sides of
the kngine compartment.
Look at
the silver-colqred band inside the fuse. If the band
is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you replace
a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size 'and rating.\

Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the underhood electrical center. An electrical overload
will cause the lamps to go on and off, or
in some cases
to remain off.
If this happens, have your headlamp
system checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy
snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools. If
the overload is caused by some electrical problem, have
it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed.
