PERFORMANCE/ACR

CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance
beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
- Engine Temperature Warning Light
• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
• If the light turns on and a warning chime sounds while driving, safely pull over andstop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, t urn it off. Also, shiftthe transmission into
NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the temperat ure reading does not return to normal,
turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangero us. You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call an authorized service center for service
if your vehicle overheats.
- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the parking brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an
Anti-Lock Brake System problem.
• We recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

WARNING!
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start
anytime the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position. You can be hurt by the fan.
• Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or clothing. Do not lean over a battery when attaching clamps or allow the
clamps to touch each other. If acid splashes in your eyes or on skin, flush the
contaminated area immediately w ith large quantities of water.
• A battery generates hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep flames or sparks away from the battery vent holes. Don’t lean over the battery when
attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other.
• If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster cables may be used to obtain a start from another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly, so
follow this procedure carefully.
• Do not use a booster battery or any other booster source with an output that exceeds 12-volts (i.e., do not use a 24-volt power source).
• The battery is located underneath an acce ss panel inside the rear compartment on the
left side of the vehicle. A remote batt ery terminal is located in the engine
compartment for jump-starting.
• Remove all metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, which might make an unintended electrical contact.
WARNING!
Do not permit vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
• Park the booster vehicle within cable reach but without letting the vehicles touch. Set the parking brake on both vehicles, shif t the transmissioninto NEUTRAL, and turn the
ignition to LOCK.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical loads.
• Remove the plastic cover from the remote jump-start positive post (+) in the engine compartment.
If You Are Jump-Starting Your Vehicle:
• Connect one end of a jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal on the boosterbattery. Connect the other end of the same cable to the remote jump-start positive
post (+).
• Connect the other cable to the negative terminal on the booster battery. Connect the other end of the same cable to the ear of the thermostat housing on the engine
in your vehicle. Make sure you have a good contact.

VEHICLE STORAGE
We recommend that you follow these guidelines for storing your vehicle for extended
periods.
• Fill the fuel tank. This will prevent water condensation inside the tank. If you plan to store your vehicle more than two months, add an anti-oxidant fuel stabilizer to the
fuel tank.
• Change the oil to remove any corrosive combustion related acids in the crankcase.
• Check that the radiator coolant level of protection is to at least -20°F (-29°C).
• Make sure that all tires are inflated to the optimum pressure.
• Wash and wax the vehicle to protect the finish.
• Store the vehicle in a dry, well-ventilated location.
• Move the wiper blades away from the windshield.
• Block the wheels. Do not apply the parking brake.
• Cut blocks of plywood about the same size of the tires. Cover each block with indoor/outdoor carpeting and place them between the tires and concrete. This will
prevent tire flat spotting.
• For long-term storage, remove the tires and put the vehicle up on blocks. Stack the tires on plywood and cover wit h a tarp to prevent flat spotting.
• If the vehicle will be subjected to freezin g temperatures, either remove the battery and
store it in a dry, well ventilated area or connect a trickle charger (1.5 Amp) with
automatic shutdown / overcharge protection to the battery. However, do not leave the
trickle charger hooked up to the battery without being plugged in to a 110 Volt AC
outlet, as this will result in further drain on the vehicle's battery. If the vehicle is not
going to be driven in the next three weeks, per form the battery recharge procedure in
the Service Manual. Then, either disconnect the b attery at the negative terminal or use
the “Battery Save Feature” to conserve battery power.
NOTE: Disconnecting the battery causes the en gine control system to lose memory of
some “learned” functions. After reconnecting the b attery, the engine may run rough until
the control module “relearns” these functions. Using the Battery Save Feature will
prevent the engine controller from loosing its memory.
CAUTION!
Use care when disconnecting the remote positive cable. It is connected to the battery
and can short out to any metal on the vehicle. Always tape or wrap the exposed cable
end to prevent electrical shorts.
• Check the battery every four to six weeks to ensure that the voltage is above 12.40 Volts. The voltage will drop more rapidly in hot temperatures. If battery voltage
drops below 12.40 Volts, follow the battery r echarge procedure in the Service Manual.
