1. Power steering fluid
reservoir

Break-in period
First 600 miles: Avoid heavy
braking and acceleration; drive at
varying road and engine speeds
Tip: Follow same procedures
with overhauled engine or

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)*
When brake pedal is pressed, ABS
automatically reduces hydraulic
pressure to any wheel on the
verge of locking up
You may feel a slight pulsing
of the brake pedal and hear a
clicking noise; this tells you the
ABS is functioning properly;
increase pressure on pedal
for maximum braking
Tips: Maintain constant
pressure on the brake pedal
Do not pump the brakesTire economy and tips
Check pressure at least monthly
when tires are cold
Maintain correct front-end
alignment and tire balance; rotate
tires at 3,750-mile intervals; see
Owner’s Manual for rotation chart
Tire pressure
Decal on the edge of the
driver’s door provides tire
pressure information

Tire chains can damage aluminum
wheels; use on steel wheels only
Tip: Use only SAE class “S”
chains, install only on rear
