California Proposition 65 Warning
Most motor vehicles, including this one, contain
and/or emit chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Engine exhaust, many
parts and systems (including some inside the
vehicle), many uids, and some component wear
by-products contain and/or emit these chemicals.
Doing Your Own Service Work
{CAUTION:
You can be injured and your vehicle could
be damaged if you try to do service work
on a vehicle without knowing enough
about it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, the proper replacement
parts, and tools before you attempt any
vehicle maintenance task.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)

Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts,
and other fasteners. English and
metric fasteners can be easily
confused. If you use the wrong
fasteners, parts can later break
or fall off. You could be hurt.
If you want to do some of your own service work,
you will want to use the proper service manual. It
tells you much more about how to service your
vehicle than this manual can. To order the proper
service manual, seeService Publications Ordering
Information on page 510.
Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before
attempting to do your own service work, see
Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on
page 102.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts
and list the mileage and the date of any service
work you perform. SeeMaintenance Record
on page 488.

Checking Engine Oil
It is a good idea to check the engine oil every time
you get fuel. In order to get an accurate reading,
the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be
on level ground.
The engine oil dipstick handle is a yellow loop.
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 364
for the location of the engine oil dipstick.
1. Turn off the engine and give the oil several
minutes to drain back into the oil pan. If you
do not do this, the oil dipstick might not
show the actual level.
2. Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper
towel or cloth, then push it back in all the
way. Remove it again, keeping the tip down,
and check the level.

Notice:If you leave your radio or other
accessories on during the jump starting
procedure, they could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by your warranty. Always
turn off your radio and other accessories when
jump starting your vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the
cigarette lighter or the accessory power
outlet(s). Turn off the radios and all lamps that
are not needed. This will avoid sparks and help
save both batteries. And it could save the radio!
4. Open the hood on the other vehicle and locate
the positive (+) and negative (−) terminal
locations on that vehicle.
You will not need to access your battery for
jump starting. Your vehicle has a remote
positive (+) jump starting terminal for that
purpose. The terminal is located under a
tethered cap at the front of the underhood fuse
block. SeeEngine Compartment Overview on
page 364for more information on location.Squeeze the tabs and
swing the cap out of the
way to access the
remote positive (+)
terminal.
You should always use the remote positive (+)
terminal instead of the positive (+) terminal
on the battery.
{CAUTION:
An electric fan can start up even when the
engine is not running and can injure you.
Keep hands, clothing and tools away from
any underhood electric fan.

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 system 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 463or 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 inator 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.
3. Place the inator kit tools in the pouch, and
store in the glove box.
To put the cover back on, line up the tabs at the
back of the cover and put it in place. Push down the
tab to secure the cover.

Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
Notice:Do not add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless you check with your dealer rst.
Some electrical equipment can damage your
vehicle and the damage would not be covered
by your warranty. Some add-on electrical
equipment can keep other components from
working as they should.
Add-on equipment can drain your vehicle’s
battery, even if your vehicle is not operating.
Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before
attempting to add anything electrical to your
vehicle, seeServicing Your Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle on page 102.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by internal fuses
in the fuse block. An electrical overload will cause
the lamps to go off and remain off. If this happens,
have your headlamp wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by an
internal circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor
overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will
stop until the motor cools. If the overload is caused
by some electrical problem, be sure to get it xed.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers in the oor console fuse block
protect the power windows and other power
accessories. When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting
the circuit until the problem is xed.
462

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by a combination of fuses,
circuit breakers, and fusible thermal links.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If
the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be
sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the
identical size and rating.
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. Just pick a 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 oor
console fuse block and the underhood fuse and
relay center.
Floor Console Fuse Block
The oor console fuse block is located to the left
of the glove box near the oor. Pull the door
open to access the fuse block.
