HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
DRIVING
NAVIGATION
Checking the Battery
Check the battery terminals for corrosion monthly.
For jump starting the battery, see page 91.
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or
seriously hurt you.
When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled technician do it.
WARNING
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
Air Conditioning
To ensure proper and safe operation, the Society of Automotive Engineers
recommends that the refrigerant system only be serviced by trained and certified
technicians (SAE Standard J2845).
Never repair or replace the air conditioning evaporator (cooling coil) with one
removed from a used or salvaged vehicle. New replacement mobile air conditioning
evaporators must be certified (and labeled) as meeting SAE Standard J2842.
Vented refrigerant is harmful to the environment. To avoid refrigerant from venting,
never replace the evaporator with one removed from a used or salvaged vehicle.
Refrigerant in your vehicle’s air conditioning system is flammable and can be
ignited during servicing if proper procedures are not followed.
NOTICE
Changing Wiper Blades
If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning them first
with a paper towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber has
deteriorated, you should change the wiper blades.
1. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the
passenger side.
2. Place a cloth on the edge of the lock tab. Push the
lock tab up with a flat-tip screwdriver.
3. Slide the blade from the wiper arm.
4. Slide the wiper blade out from its holder by pulling
the tabbed end out.
5. Remove the retainers from the rubber blade that
has been removed, and mount to a new rubber
blade. Correctly align the rubber protrusion and
the retainer grooves.
6. Slide the new wiper blade onto the holder from
the bottom end. The tab on the holder should fit in
the indent of the wiper blade.
7. Slide the wiper blade onto the wiper arm, then
push down the lock tab.
8. Lower the passenger side wiper arm first, then the
driver side.
