or goes dead, the audio system willdisable itself. The next time you turn on the radio you will see

Charging the battery with the cables

connected can seriously damage your

car's electronic controls. Detach the
battery cables before connecting the

battery to a charger.
Wipe
r Blade s

Check the condition of the wiper
blades at least every six months. Look for signs of cracking in the
rubber, or areas that are getting
hard. Replace the blades if you find these signs, or they leave streaksand unwiped areas when used.

The battery gives off explosive
hydrogen gas during normal
operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough
force to kill or seriously hurt you.
Wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled mechanic do the battery

Fuse
s

5. Look for a burned wire inside the fuse. If it is burned, replace it withone of the spare fuses of the same
rating or lower. If you cannot drive the car without
fixing the problem, and you do not have a spare fuse, take a fuse of the same rating or a lower rating from
one of the other circuits. Make sure
you can do without that circuit temporarily (such as the accessory
power socket or radio).
If you replace the blown fuse with aspare fuse that has a lower rating, it
might blow out again. This does not
indicate anything wrong. Replace the
fuse with one of the correct rating as soon as you can.
Replacing a fuse with one that has a

higher rating greatly increases the
chances of damaging the electrical

system. If you do not have a replace-
ment fuse with the proper rating for the

circuit, install one with a lower rating.

6. If the replacement fuse of the same rating blows in a short time,
there is probably a serious electrical problem in your car.
Leave the blown fuse in that
circuit and have your car checked
by a qualified mechanic.
If the radio fuse is removed, the
audio system will disable itself. The
next time you turn on the radio you will see in the frequency
display. Use the Preset buttons to
enter the five-digit code (see page
123).
