EXHAUST SYSTEM
The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.
If you notice a change in the sound of
the exhaust system; or if the exhaust
fumes can be detected inside the ve-
hicle; or when the underside or rear of
the vehicle is damaged; have an au-
thorized technician inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent
body areas for broken, damaged, de-
teriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the passenger compartment. In
addition, have the exhaust system in-
spected each time the vehicle is raised
for lubrication or oil change. Replace
as required.
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
They contain carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless and odor-
less. Breathing it can make you un-
conscious and can eventually poison
you. To avoid breathing CO, refer to
“Safety Tips/Exhaust Gas” in
“Things To Know Before Starting
Your Vehicle” for further informa-
tion.CAUTION!
 The catalytic converter requiresthe use of unleaded fuel only.
Leaded gasoline will destroy the
effectiveness of the catalyst as an
emissions control device and may
seriously reduce engine perfor-
mance and cause serious damage
to the engine.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
 Damage to the catalytic converter
can result if your vehicle is not
kept in proper operating condi-
tion. In the event of engine mal-
function, particularly involving
engine misfire or other apparent
loss of performance, have your ve-
hicle serviced promptly. Contin-
ued operation of your vehicle with
a severe malfunction could cause
the converter to overheat, result-
ing in possible damage to the con-
verter and vehicle.
Under normal operating conditions,
the catalytic converter will not require
maintenance. However, it is impor-
tant to keep the engine properly tuned
to assure proper catalyst operation
and prevent possible catalyst damage.
NOTE:
Intentional tampering with emis-
sions control systems can result in
civil penalties being assessed
against you.

VEHICLE STORAGE
If you will not be using your vehicle
for more than 21 days, you may want
to take steps to preserve your battery.
 Disengage the mini-fuse in thePower Distribution Center labeled
IOD (Ignition Off-Draw).
 Or disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Refer to “Prepa-
ration for Jump Start” in “Jump-
Starting” to identify the location of
the negative post.
 Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service (i.e., vacation)
for two weeks or more, run the air
conditioning system at idle for
about five minutes in the fresh air
and high blower setting. This will
ensure adequate system lubrication
to minimize the possibility of com-
pressor damage when the system is
started again.

SCHEDULE
The Scheduled Maintenance services
listed in this manual must be done at
the times or mileages specified to pro-
tect your vehicle warranty and ensure
the best vehicle performance and reli-
ability. More frequent maintenance
may be needed for vehicles in severe
operating conditions, such as dusty
areas and very short trip driving. In-
spection and service should also be
done anytime a malfunction is sus-
pected.
The oil change indicator system will
remind you that it is time to take your
vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.On Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) equipped vehicles “Oil
Change Required” will be displayed
in the EVIC and a single chime will
sound, indicating that an oil change is
necessary.
NOTE:
 The oil change indicator mes-
sage will not monitor the time
since the last oil change. Change
your vehicles oil if it has been
12 months since your last oil
change even if the oil change in-
dicator message is NOT illumi-
nated.  Under no circumstances should
oil change intervals exceed
12 000 km or 12 months, which-
ever comes first.
Your authorized dealer will reset the
oil change indicator message after
completing the scheduled oil change.
