Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch
If the engine cranks but does not start or if you have had a
collision, the fuel pump shut-off switch may have been triggered.
The shut-off switch is a device that stops the fuel pump when
your vehicle has been involved in a substantial jolt.
For information on how to check and reset the fuel pump
shut-off switch, seeWhat to do if engine does not startin the Index.

Lights and Bulb Replacement
It is a good idea to check the operation of the following lights
frequently:
mheadlamps
mhigh-mount brakelamp
mtail lamps
mbrakelamps
mcornering lamps
mhazard flasher
mturn signals
mlicense plate lamps
The alignment of your headlamps should be checked if:
moncoming motorists frequently signal you to turn off your
vehicle's high beams when you do not have the high
beams on
mthe headlamps do not seem to give you enough light to see
clearly at night
mthe headlamp beams are not pointed slightly down and to the
right
Headlamp Bulb
The headlamps on your vehicle use replaceable bulbs. When the
lamp burns out, simply replace the bulb, rather than the
whole lamp.
