allowing metal objects to contact the battery posts and the
vehicle at the same time.
CAUTION: Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running;
doing so could damage the car's electrical components.
REPLACING BLOWN FUSES
Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off
all lights and accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system. Be
sure to use fuse with the correct indicated amperage rating. The use
of an incorrect amperage rating fuse may result in a dangerous
electrical system overload.
BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR
Indicator will cause a squealing or scraping noise, warning
that brake pads need replacement.
BRAKE FLUID
WARNING: DO NOT use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has been stored
in old or open containers. It is essential that foreign
particles and other liquids are kept out of the brake fluid
reservoir.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Continued operation of vehicle with a severe malfunction
could cause converter to overheat, resulting in possible damage to
converter and vehicle.
ENGINE COOLANT SERVICE
WARNING: To avoid the danger of being scalded never change the coolant
when the engine is hot.
WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot Serious
burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from
the radiator.
CAUTION: When adding or replacing engine coolant, use a high quality
ethylene glycol antifreeze diluted with 50% distilled water.
When putting the cap on the reserve tank, line up the arrow
on the cap and the arrow on the tank, or coolant can leak out
ENGINE DRIVE BELT SERVICE
WARNING: Be sure the ignition key is OFF. The engine could rotate
unexpectedly.
ENGINE OIL
WARNING: The engine oil may be high enough to burn your fingers
when the drain plug is loosened. Wait until the drain plug
is cool enough to touch with you bare hands.
WARNING: Continuous contact with used engine oil has been found to
cause skin cancer in laboratory animals. Brief contact with
used engine oil may irritate skin. To minimize your exposure
to used oil, wear a long sleeve shirt and moisture-proof
gloves when changing oil. If oil contacts your skin, wash
Page 969 of 1501
thoroughly with soap and water.
CAUTION: Never use non-detergent or straight mineral oil.
FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE
WARNING: Relieve fuel system pressure prior to servicing any fuel
system component (fuel injection models).
HALOGEN BULBS
Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if
overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion of bulb with bare hands. Eye
protection should be worn when handling or working around halogen
bulbs.
RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the
radiator fan. The fan is temperature controlled and could
start at any time even when the ignition key is in the OFF
position. DO NOT loosen or remove radiator cap when cooling
system is hot.
RADIATOR FAN
WARNING: Keep hands away from radiator fan. Fan is controlled by a
thermostatic switch which may come on or run for up to 15 minutes even
after engine is turned off.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
CAUTION: Due to the different warranties offered in various regions
and the variety of after-market extended warranties
available, please refer to the warranty package that came
with the vehicle to verify all warranty options.
FUSES & CIRCUIT BREAKERS
FUSE PANEL LOCATION
The electrical system is protected against shorts by fuses
that are designed to fail, to prevent damage to the wire harness. The
fuse block is located under the instrument panel on the driver's side.
If a fuse is blown, locate the cause before replacing the fuse. Spare
fuses are contained in the fuse block.

terminals. See Fig. 1. Select 10-amp scale.
3) Turn off all electrical accessories. Turn off interior
lights, underhood lamp, trunk light, illuminated entry, etc. To avoid
damaging ammeter or obtaining a false meter reading, all accessories
must be off before turning test switch knob to OFF position.
4) Turn test switch knob to OFF position to allow current to
flow through ammeter. If meter reads wrong polarity, turn test switch
to ON position and reverse leads. Turn test switch to OFF position.
Observe current reading. If reading is less than 2 amps, turn test
switch to ON position to keep electrical circuits powered-up.
5) Select low amp scale. Switch lead to the correct meter
position. Turn test switch to OFF position and compare results to
normal current draw. See the GENERAL MOTORS PARASITIC LOAD TABLE . If
current draw is unusually high for the vehicle's overall electrical
system, remove system fuses one at a time until current draw returns
to normal.
6) Turn test switch to ON position each time door is opened
or fuse is removed. Turn switch to OFF position to read current draw
value through meter. When the cause of excessive current drain has
been located and repaired, remove test switch and reconnect negative
battery cable to the negative battery terminal.
