Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye, or clean the belts
with chemical solvents or abrasive
cleaners. This will weaken the fabric.
Sun damage can also weaken the fab-
ric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild
soap solution, or lukewarm water. Do
not remove the belts from the vehicle
to wash them.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed
or worn or if the buckles do not work
properly.
Cleaning The Center Console
Cupholders
Clean with a damp cloth or towel us-
ing a mild detergent with the cup-
holder in the center console.
NOTE:
The cupholder cannot be removed.FUSES
Integrated Power Module
The Integrated Power Module is lo-
cated in the engine compartment.
This module contains fuses and re-
lays.
CAUTION!
 When installing the integrated
power module cover, it is impor-
tant to ensure the cover is properly
positioned and fully latched. Fail-
ure to do so may allow water to get
into the integrated power module
and possibly result in an electrical
system failure.
 When replacing a blown fuse, it is
important to use only a fuse hav-
ing the correct amperage rating.
The use of a fuse with a rating
other than indicated may result in
a dangerous electrical system
overload. If a properly rated fuse
continues to blow, it indicates a
problem in the circuit that must
be corrected.
