186 In Case of Emergency
6.
Start the engine of the vehicle
that has the discharged battery.
7. Remove the battery cables by
reversing the above sequence
exactly. Start by removing the
last clamp first; that is,
remove the jumper cable from
the engine of the vehicle with
the discharged battery as the
first step. If you have a flat tire while
driving, stop in a safe place to
change it. Stopping in traffic or on
the shoulder of a busy road is
dangerous. Drive slowly along the
shoulder until you get to an exit or
an area to stop that is far away
from the traffic lanes.
The vehicle can easily roll off
the jack, seriously injuring
anyone underneath.
Follow the directions for
changing a tire exactly, and
never get under the vehicle
when it is supported only by
the jack.
1.
Park on a level surface and set
the parking brake firmly. Turn
on the hazard warning flasher,
and turn the ignition switch to
LOCK.
2. Set the automatic transmission
in “Park” (the manual
transmission in “Reverse”)
and transfer case in gear if it
is a four-wheel drive vehicle.
3. Have your passengers get out
of the vehicle.
4. Remove the jacking tools (see
page 188) and spare tire from
their stowage areas.
Changing a Tire

193In Case of Emergency
Rear Wheels off the Ground
1.
Transfer case in 2
H (4WD
model only).
2. Transmission in Neutral
position.
3. Maximum speed 30 mph
(50 km/h).
4. Maximum distance 50 miles
(80 kilometers).
If you need to tow your vehicle by
this method, secure the steering
wheel to keep the front wheels
pointed straight ahead. Do not
rely on the steering column lock;
it is not strong enough to hold the
front wheels straight while
towing. The ignition switch must
be in the
OFF position. If you have electrical problems
without extreme damage to any
electrical parts, check for burned
out fuses, broken wires, poor
connections or poor grounding.
Correct as necessary.
The fuse boxes are located under
the left hand side of the
instrument panel and in the right
hand side of the engine
compartment. (See
“Fuses” on
page 240.)

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 replacement fuse with the
proper rating for the circuit,
install one with a lower rating.

maintain
them. This section
summarizes how the emissions
controls work. Scheduled
maintenance is on page 204.
Crankcase Emissions
Control System
Your vehicle has a Positive
Crankcase Ventilation System.
This keeps gasses that build up in
the engine ’s crankcase from going
into the atmosphere. The Positive
Crankcase Ventilation valve routes
them from the crankcase back to
the intake manifold. They are then
drawn into the engine and burned.
Evaporative Emissions
Control System
As gasoline evaporates in the fuel
tank, an evaporative emission
control canister filled with
charcoal adsorbs the vapor. It is
stored in this canister while the engine is off. After the engine is
started and warmed up, the vapor
is drawn into the engine and
burned during driving.
Onboard Refueling Vapor
Recovery
The Onboard Refueling Vapor
Recovery (ORVR) system captures
the fuel vapors during refueling.
The vapors are adsorbed in a
canister filled with activated
carbon. While driving, the fuel
vapors are drawn into the engine
and burned off.
Exhaust Emissions Controls
The exhaust emission controls
include four systems: Fuel
Injection, Ignition Timing Control,
Exhaust Gas Recirculation, and
Three-Way Catalytic Converter.
These four systems work together
to control the engine
’s combustion and minimize the amount of HC,
CO, and NOx that comes out the
tailpipe. The exhaust emission
control systems are separate from
the crankcase and evaporative
emission control systems.
Fuel Injection System
The Fuel Injection System uses
sequential multiport fuel injection.
It has three subsystems: Air
Intake, Engine Control, and Fuel
Control. The Engine Control
Module (
ECM) uses various
sensors to determine how much
air is going into the engine. It then
controls how much fuel to inject
under all operating conditions.
Ignition Timing Control System
This system constantly adjusts the
ignition timing, reducing the amount
of HC, CO and NOx produced.
