Vehicle Loading/Towing Information

Your vehicle's load capacity is designated by weight, not
volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space with
large or heavy loads. Maximum safe vehicle weights as well as
tire, rim sizes and inflation pressures are specified for your
vehicle at the assembly plant on the Safety Compliance
Certification Label. The Certification Label is located on the left
front door lock facing or the door latch post pillar.

Cleaning the Engine
*
[SV05665(ALL)04/95]
A clean engine is more efficient because a buildup of grease and
dirt acts as an insulator, keeping the engine warmer than usual.
*
[SV05670(ALL)07/95]
n
Extreme care must be used if a power washer is used to
clean the engine. The high pressure fluid could penetrate
sealed parts and assemblies causing damage or malfunctions.
*
[SV05675(ALL)08/95]
n
In order to avoid possible cracking of the engine block or
fuel injection pump, do not spray a hot engine or injection
pump with cold water.
[SV05680(ALL)03/95]
n
The alternator, coils and air intake must be covered.
Covering these components will help prevent water damage.
*
[SV05685(ALL)04/95]
n
Never wash or rinse the engine while it is running. Water
getting into the engine may cause internal damage.

bar and rotating the fuel cap counterclockwise.
[SV06850(ALL)08/94]2.

is heard. Wait until the hissing sound stops and then
continue rotating counterclockwise to remove the fuel cap.
[SV06900(ALL)01/95]
Make sure that you follow the above fuel cap removal
instructions and use caution. Such caution will minimize the
possibility of fuel spraying during removal of the fuel cap.

all the way inside the fuel filler pipe.

To replace and secure the fuel cap; place it in position and
rotate it clockwise until it clicks (ratchets). Doing so will not
damage or break the fuel cap. The ratcheting mechanism allows
the fuel cap to be sealed without overtightening.
