relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy.

quality of your vehicle may be adversely affected until the idle
trim is eventually relearned.

the clock must be reset once the battery is reconnected.

batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your local authorized
standards for disposal. Call your

WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Check the wiper blades at least twice a year or when they seem less
effective. Substances such as tree sap and some hot wax treatments used
by commercial car washes reduce the effectiveness of wiper blades.
Checking the wiper blades
If the wiper blades do not wipe properly, clean both the windshield and
wiper blades using undiluted windshield wiper solution or a mild
detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. To avoid damaging the
blades, do not use fuel, kerosene, paint thinner or other solvents.
