Tire Chains
Notice:Use tire chains only where legal and only
when you must. Use only SAE Class “S” type chains
that are the proper size for your tires. Install them
on the front tires and tighten them as tightly as
possible with the ends securely fastened. Drive
slowly and follow the chain manufacturer’s
instructions. If you can hear the chains contacting
your vehicle, stop and retighten them. If the contact
continues, slow down until it stops. Driving too
fast or spinning the wheels with chains on will
damage your vehicle.
Accessory Inator
Your vehicle may have an accessory inator. With it,
you can inate things like air mattresses and
basketballs, and you can also use it to bring your tires
up to the proper pressure.
The accessory inator is located in the rear
compartment on the driver’s side. To remove the
protective cap, pull the tab on the cap.
This symbol is on the
accessory inator switch.
There may be an accessory inator kit stored in the
glove box. It includes a 20-foot (6 m) hose with an air
pressure gage and nozzle adapters.

{CAUTION:
Inating something too much can make it
explode, and you or others could be injured.
Be sure to read the inator instructions, and
inate any object only to its recommended
pressure.
To use your accessory inator, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ACCESSORY or RUN.
2. Attach the appropriate nozzle adapter, if required,
to the end of the hose that has the pressure gage.
3. Attach that end of the hose to the object you wish
to inate.
4. Remove the protective cap covering the outlet.
5. Attach the other end of the hose to the outlet.
6. Press the accessory inator switch. The light in the
switch will come on to show the system is working.
If the accessory inator does not turn on or the
light does not come on, the fuse may be blown or
installed incorrectly. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 5-92or see your dealer for service.Your accessory inator will automatically shut off after
about 10 minutes. The light in the switch will blink. After
about one minute, you can use the system again.
Press the switch and the indicator light will come on.
Notice:If you run the accessory inator longer than
30 minutes at a time, you could damage the
inator. The repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Run the inator for short periods of
time only.
After running the accessory inator for 30 minutes, wait
at least 10 minutes before restarting the accessory
inator.
To turn off the inator, do the following:
1. Press the switch and detach the hose, rst from the
inated object, then from the outlet.
2. Put the protective cap back on.
To put the cap back on, line up the tabs at the back
of the cover and put it in place. Push down the
tab to secure the cap.
3. Place the inator kit tools in the pouch, and store in
the glove box.

windshield from outside your vehicle. The VIN also
appears on the Vehicle Certication and Service Parts
labels and the certicates of title and registration.

The eighth character in your VIN is the engine code.
This code will help you identify your engine,
specications and replacement parts.

It is very helpful if you ever need to order parts. On this
label, you will nd the following:

If you ever have a problem on the road and do not have
a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage or use one of the spare fuses in the
underhood fuse block. Just pick some feature of your
vehicle that you can get along without – like the radio or
cigarette lighter – and use its fuse, if it is the right
amperage. Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle, the instrument
panel fuse block and the underhood fuse block.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse
block is located to the right
of the glove box on the end
of the instrument panel.
Pull the door open to access the instrument panel
fuse block.
