into your engine, which
will damage it. Always
have the air cleaner in place when you’re driving.

a fluid that has sufficient
protection against freezing.

a
a When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions
for
adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer

other parts of the washer system.
Also,
water doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fuse Id Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination
of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused
by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored 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.
Engine Con tment Fuse Bloc -;
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a
spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage. Pick some feature of your vehicle that you
can get along without
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as
soon as you can.
There are three fuse blocks in your vehicle: the engine
compartment fuse block, the MaxiFuse
relay center and
the rear compartment fuse block. The fuse
block is located next to the air filter on the
driver's side of the engine. Lift the cover to gain access.
