Passenger’s Side Fuse Panel
Additional fuses are located in the relay center, on the
far right side, below the instrument panel. You must
remove the sound insulator on
the right side of the
passenger footwell to replace these fuses.
Replacing these fuses is difficult. We recommend that
you see your dealer if you need one replaced.

Power Antenna Service
Clean power antenna mast. See “Audio Systems” in the
Index for further details.
At Least Twice a Year
Restraint System Check
Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your
belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages are
working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged
safety belt system parts. If you see anything that might
keep a safety belt system from doing its job, have it
repaired. Have any tom or frayed safety belts replaced.
Also look for any opened or broken air bag covers, and
have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)
Automatic Transaxle Check
Check the transaxle fluid level; add if needed. See
“Automatic Transaxle” in the Index. A fluid
loss
may indicate a problem. Check the system and repair
if needed.
At Least Once a Year
Key Lock Cylinders Service
Lubricate the key lock cylinders with the lubricant
specified in Part
D.
Body Lubrication Service
Lubricate all body door hinges. Also lubricate all hinges
and latches, including those for the hood, glove box
door and console door. Part
D tells you what to use.
More frequent lubrication may be required when
exposed to a corrosive environment.
Starter Switch Check
I I
When you are doing this check, the vehicle could
move suddenly.
If it does, you or others could be
injured.
Follow the steps below.
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough room
around the vehicle.
ProCarManuals.com

2.
3.
Firmly apply both the parking brake (see “Parking
Brake” in the Index if necessary) and the
regular brake.
NOTE: Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be
ready
to turn off the engine immediately if it starts.
Try
to start the engine in each gear. The starter
should work only in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL
(N). If
the starter works in any other position, your vehicle
needs service.
Brake-Transaxle Shift Interlock (BTSI) Check
2. Firmly apply the parking brake (see “Parking Brake”
in the Index if necessary).
NOTE: Be ready to apply the regular brake
immediately
if the vehicle begins to move.
3. With the engine off, turn the key to the RUN
position, but don’t start the engine. Without applying
the regular brake, try
to move the shift lever out of
PARK (P) with normal effort.
If the shift lever
moves out
of PARK (P), your vehicle’s BTSI
needs service.
Steering Column Lock Check
While parked, and with the parking brake set, try to turn
the key
to LOCK in each shift lever position.
When you are doing this check, the vehicle could
move suddenly. If
it does, you or others could be
injured.
Follow the steps below.
The key should turn to LOCK only when the shift
lever is
in PARK (P).
The key should come out only in LOCK.
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough room
around
the vehicle. It should be parked on a
level surface.
