• Do NOT use gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing methanol.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing MMT.
We recommend quality gasoline containing detergent additives that help 
prevent fuel system and engine deposits. In addition, in order to maintain good 
performance, fuel economy, and emissions control, we strongly recommend the
use of gasoline that does NOT contain harmful manganese-based fuel additives 
such as MMT, if such gasoline is available. 
NOTICE

MAINTENANCE
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Inspecting and Changing Fuses
1. Turn the vehicle off, including all lights and
accessories.
2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Check the large fuse in the engine compartment.
 If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-head 
screwdriver to remove the screws and replace
the fuse with a new one. Reinstall the screws.
4. Inspect the small fuses in the engine 
compartment and the vehicle interior.
 If there is a burned out fuse, remove it with the 
fuse puller and replace it with a new one.
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the\
chances
of damaging the electrical system.

Safety Precautions
Some of the most important safety precautions are listed below; however, we cannot 
warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. 
Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task.
Maintenance Safety • 
To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames 
away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.
• Never leave rags, towels, or other flammable objects under the hood.
• To clean parts, use a commercially available degreaser or parts cleaner, not 
gasoline.
• 
Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with the battery or 
compressed air.
• 
Do not run the engine in confined spaces where carbon monoxide gas can 
accumulate.
Vehicle Safety • 
The vehicle must be stationary, and parked on level ground with the parking 
brake set and the engine off.
• Be aware that hot parts can burn you.
•  Be aware that moving parts can injure you.
Improperly maintaining this vehicle or failing to correct a problem before driving 
can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. 
Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations according t\
o
the schedules in this guide.
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions can \
cause
you to be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the procedures and precautions in this guide.
WARNING
WARNING
Learn about basic maintenance that you can perform on the vehicle yourself, as well 
as information about how to best maintain the vehicle.
