Fuse box in the passenger compartment
The fuse box in the passenger compartment is located under the glove compartment.
To access the fuses:
1. Remove the upholstery covering the fuse box by first pressing in the center pins in the mounting clips approximately
0.5 in (1 cm) with a small screwdriver and then pulling the pins out.
2. Turn both retaining screws (2) counterclockwise until they release.
3. Fold down the fuse box (3) half way. Pull it toward the seat until it stops. Fold it down completely. The fuse box can
be unhooked completely.
4. Replace the blown fuse.
5. Close the fuse box in reverse order.
6. Pull the center pins fully out of the mounting clips, secure the upholstery with the mounting clips and press the pins
into the mounting clips again. The mounting clips then expand, holding the upholstery in position.

converter.
Do not park your vehicle over combustible materials, such as grass or leaves, which can come into contact with the hot
exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind and weather conditions.
Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermittently firing or flooded engine can cause three-way
catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.
Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine, the Electronic Control Module, or the vehicle
may be illegal and can cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.
This includes:
- Altering fuel injection settings or components.
- Altering emission system components or location or removing components.
- Repeated use of leaded fuel.
NOTE
Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic converters.
