Vehicle Care 10-21
{ Caution .
Using the wrong fluid can
badly damage brake
hydraulic system parts. For
example, just a few drops of
mineral-based oil, such as
engine oil, in the brake
hydraulic system can damage
brake hydraulic system parts
so badly that they will have to
be replaced. Do not let
someone put in the wrong
kind of fluid. .
If brake fluid is spilled on the
vehicle's painted surfaces,
the paint finish can be
damaged. Be careful not to
spill brake fluid on the
vehicle. If you do, wash it off
immediately.
Battery The original equipment battery is
maintenance free. Do not remove
the cap and do not add fluid. Refer to the replacement number
shown on the original battery label
when a new battery is needed. See
Engine Compartment Overview on
page 10-7 for battery location.
{ WarningWARNING: Battery posts,
terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to
the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling. See California
Proposition 65 Warning on
page 10-2 .
Vehicle Storage
{ Warning
Batteries have acid that can burn
you and gas that can explode.
You can be badly hurt if you are
(Continued) Warning (Continued) not careful. See Jump Starting on
page 10-55 for tips on working
around a battery without
getting hurt.

Vehicle Care 10-55
Full-Size Spare Tire If this vehicle came with a full-size
spare tire, it was fully inflated when
new, however, it can lose air over
time. Check the inflation pressure
regularly. See Tire Pressure on
page 10-35 and Vehicle Load Limits
on page 9-9 . For instructions on
how to remove, install, or store a
spare tire, see Tire Changing on
page 10-48 .
After installing the spare tire on the
vehicle, stop as soon as possible
and check that the spare is correctly
inflated. The spare tire is made to
perform well at speeds up to
112 km/h (70 mph) at the
recommended inflation pressure, so
you can finish your trip. Have the damaged or flat road tire
repaired or replaced back onto the
vehicle, as soon as possible, so the
spare tire will be available in case it
is needed again.
Do not mix tires and wheels of
different sizes, because they will not
fit. Keep the spare tire and its wheel
together.
Jump Starting For more information about the
vehicle battery, see Battery on
page 10-21 .
If the vehicle battery has run down,
you may want to use another
vehicle and jumper cables to start
your vehicle. Use the following
steps to do it safely.
{ WarningWARNING: Battery posts,
terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to
the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling. See California

10-56 Vehicle Care
{ WarningBatteries can hurt you. They can
be dangerous because: .
They contain acid that can
burn you. .
They contain gas that can
explode or ignite. .
They contain enough
electricity to burn you. .
Explosive hydrogen gas is
always present in the vicinity
of the battery. Keep all sparks
and flames away from the
battery.
If you do not follow these steps
exactly, some or all of these
things can hurt you. { CautionIgnoring these steps could result
in costly damage to the vehicle
that would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Trying to start
the vehicle by pushing or pulling it
will not work, and it could damage
the vehicle.

1. Check the other vehicle. It must
have a 12-volt battery with a
negative ground system.
{ CautionIf the other vehicle does not have
a 12-volt system with a negative
ground, both vehicles can be
damaged. Only use a vehicle that
has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump starting.

Vehicle Care 10-572. Get the vehicles close enough
so the jumper cables can reach,
but be sure the vehicles are not
touching each other. If they are,
it could cause a ground
connection you do not want. You
would not be able to start your
vehicle, and the bad grounding
could damage the electrical
systems.
To avoid the possibility of the
vehicles rolling, set the parking
brake firmly on both vehicles
involved in the jump start
procedure. Put an automatic
transmission in P (Park) or a
manual transmission in Neutral
before setting the parking brake.
{ Caution
If any accessories are left on or
plugged in during the jump
starting procedure, they could be
damaged. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle
(Continued) Caution (Continued) warranty. Whenever possible, turn
off or unplug all accessories on
either vehicle when jump starting.
3. Turn off the ignition on both
vehicles. Unplug unnecessary
accessories from the cigarette
lighter or the accessory power
outlet. Turn off the radio and all
lamps that are not needed. This
will avoid sparks and help save
both batteries. And it could save
the radio!
4. Open the hoods and locate the
positive (+) and negative ( − )
terminal locations of the other
vehicle.
{ Warning
Using a match near a battery can
cause battery gas to explode.
People have been hurt doing this,
(Continued) Warning (Continued) and some have been blinded.
Use a flashlight if you need more
light.
Battery fluid contains acid that
can burn you. Do not get it on
you. If you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your skin, flush
the place with water and get
medical help immediately.
{ Warning
Fans or other moving engine
parts can injure you badly. Keep
your hands away from moving
parts once the engine is running.

10-58 Vehicle Care 5. Check that the jumper cables do
not have loose or missing
insulation. If they do, you could
get a shock. The vehicles could
be damaged too.
Before you connect the cables,
here are some basic things you
should know. Positive (+) will go
to positive (+) or to a remote
positive (+) terminal if equipped.
Negative ( − ) will go to an
unpainted metal part or to a
remote negative ( − ) terminal if
equipped.
Do not connect positive (+) to
negative ( − ) or you will get a
short that would damage the
battery and possibly other parts
too. Do not connect the
negative ( − ) cable to the
negative ( − ) terminal on the dead
battery because this can cause
sparks.
6. Connect the red positive (+)
cable to the positive (+)
terminal (1) of the dead battery.
Use a remote positive (+) terminal if equipped. Do not let
the other end touch metal.
Connect it to the positive (+)
terminal (4) of the good battery.
Use a remote positive (+)
terminal if equipped.
7. Connect the black negative ( − )
cable to the negative ( − )
terminal (3) of the good battery.
Use a remote negative ( − )
terminal if equipped.
Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step. The
other end of the negative ( − )
cable does not go to the dead
battery. It goes to the shock
tower, or to a remote
negative ( − ) terminal on the
vehicle with the dead battery.
8. Connect the other end of the
negative ( − ) cable to the
negative ( − ) grounding point (2)
on the shock tower of the vehicle
with the dead battery. { CautionMake sure the jumper cables do
not touch moving parts in the
engine compartment and that the
cable clamps do not contact any
other metal.
9. Start the vehicle with the good
battery and run the engine for a
few minutes.
10. Keep the engine speed of the
booster vehicle at about
2,000 rpm, and start the engine
of the vehicle being jump
started.
{ Caution
Do not keep the starter motor
engaged for more than
10 seconds. If the engine does
not start right away, turn the key
off and wait three to four seconds
before trying again.

disconnect jumper cables as
directed below.
12. If it will not start after a few
tries, it probably needs service.
{ CautionIf the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct order,
making sure that the cables do
not touch each other or other
metal.

so may cause transmission
damage. Towing the Vehicle
{ CautionIncorrectly towing a disabled
vehicle may cause damage. The
damage would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Have the vehicle towed on a flatbed
car carrier or a wheel lift tow truck. If
a wheel lift tow truck is used, the
drive wheels cannot contact the
road while the vehicle is being
towed. A wheel dolly must be used
to lift all drive wheels off the ground.
