Power Antenna Mast Care
Your power antenna will look its best and work
well
if it’s cleaned from time to time. To clean the
antenna mast:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Turn on the ignition and radio to raise the antenna.
Dampen a clean cloth with mineral
spirits or
equivalent solvent.
Wipe the cloth over the mast sections, removing
any dirt.
Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Make the antenna go up and down by turning the
radio or ignition off and
on.
Repeat if necessary.
I NOTICE:
Don’t lubricate the power antenna. Lubrication
could damage it.
1 NOTICE:
Before entering an automatic car wash, turn off
your radio to make the power antenna
go down.
This will prevent the mast from possibly getting
damaged. If the antenna does not
go down when
you turn the radio off,
it may be damaged or
need to be cleaned. In either case, lower the
antenna
by hand by carefully pressing the
antenna down.
If the mast portion of your antenna is damaged, you can
easily replace
it. See your dealer for a replacement kit
and follow the instructions in the kit.

If you have a diesel engine vehicle with two batteries
(or more) you should know before you begin that,
especially
in cold weather, you may not be able to
get enough power from
a single battery in another
vehicle to start your diesel engine.
If your vehicle has more than one battery, use the
battery that is under the hood
of the vehicle - this
will reduce the electrical resistance.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching
each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground
connection
you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to
start your vehicle, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, set
the parking brake firmly on both vehicles involved in
the jump start procedure. Put your automatic
transmission
in PARK (P).
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off all
lamps that aren’t needed,
and radios. This will avoid
sparks and help save both batteries, and could save
your radio.
NOTICE: -1
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs would not be covered by
your warranty.

4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find the
positive
(+) and negative (-) terminals on each battery.
An electric fan can start up even when the engme
is not running and can injure you. Keep hands, clothing and tools away from any underhood
electric fan.

Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The fuse block access door
is
on the driver's side of
the instrument panel above
the hood release lever.
You can remove the cover
by turning the fastener to
the left.
You can remove fuses with
a fuse extractor. The fuse
extractor is mounted
to the fuse block access door.
To remove fuses if you don't have a fuse extractor, hold
the end
of the fuse between your thumb and index finger
and pull straight out. Be
sure
to use the correct fuse. If you ever have a
problem
on the road and don't have a spare fuse,
you can borrow
one of the correct value. Just 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 of the value you need. Replace it as
soon as
you can.
