lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
•  Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
•  Make sure the hood is securely closed.

the hood, causing a ire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an extended period, 
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by a small animal. Also check under the hood for leftover lammable materials after you or someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.
•  Make sure the tires are in good condition.
•  Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
Interior Checks
• Store or secure all items on board properly.
•  Do not pile items higher than the seat height.
•  Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure the loor  mats.
•  If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely around in the 
vehicle.
•  Securely close and lock all doors and the tailgate.
•  Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
•  Make sure items placed on the loor behind the front seats cannot roll under the 
seats.
•  Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
•  Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you start
the vehicle, and go off soon after.

Inspecting and Changing Fuses
1. Turn the vehicle off, including all lights and
accessories.
2. Check the fuses on the battery in the engine  compartment. If the fuse is blown, have it 
replaced by a dealer.
3. Remove the fuse box cover.
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.
5. Check the large fuse in the engine compartment.
  If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-head  screwdriver to remove the screw and replace the
fuse with a new one. Reinstall the screw.
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chances of damaging the electrical system.
