278 VEHICLE CARE
Electrical System
Electrical System Overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit
breakers to protect against an
electrical system overload.
When the current electrical load is too
heavy, the circuit breaker opens and
closes, protecting the circuit until the
current load returns to normal or the
problem is fixed. This greatly reduces
the chance of circuit overload and fire
caused by electrical problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect
power devices in the vehicle.
Replace a bad fuse with a new one of
the identical size and rating.
If there is a problem on the road and
a fuse needs to be replaced, the
same amperage fuse can be borrowed.
Choose some feature of the vehicle
that is not needed to use and replace
it as soon as possible.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the
lamps to go on and off, or in some
cases to remain off. Have the
headlamp wiring checked right away if
the lamps go on and off or remain off.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to
heavy snow or ice, the windshield
wipers will stop. Wiper function is
available immediately after the wiper
switch is set to off, and back to on.
To protect the wiper motor from
overheating, the wipers may slow
down when the windshield is dry for a
long period of time. If a period of dry
operation, or little moisture, exceeds
10 minutes, the wipers may switch to
intermittent operation, and remain
there. When moisture is again
detected on the windshield, wiper
operation will return to the operator
selected speed.
Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, overload due to
heavy snow or ice may cause wiperlinkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from the windshield
before using the windshield wipers.
If the overload is caused by an
electrical problem and not snow or
ice, be sure to get it fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the
chance of damage caused by electrical
problems.
To check a fuse, look at the
silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a
bad fuse with a new one of the
identical size and rating.
Fuses of the same amperage can be
temporarily borrowed from another
fuse location, if a fuse goes out.
Replace the fuse as soon as possible.

324 SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
At your dealer, you can be certain that
you will receive the highest level of
service available. Your dealer has
specially trained service technicians,
uses genuine replacement parts, as
well as, up-to-date tools and
equipment to ensure fast and accurate
diagnostics.
The proper replacement parts, fluids,
and lubricants to use are listed in
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
0331 and Maintenance Replacement
Parts 0332. We recommend the use
of genuine parts from your dealer.
Rotation of New Tires
Tire rotation is not recommended if
the vehicle has different size tires on
the front and rear wheels. If tire
rotation is recommended for the
vehicle, to maintain ride, handling,
and performance of the vehicle, it is
important that the first rotation
service for new tires be performed.
Tires should be rotated every service.
See Tire Rotation 0296.Maintenance Schedule
Owner Checks and Services
At Each Fuel Stop
.
Check the engine oil level. See
Engine Oil 0257.
Once a Month
. Check the tire inflation pressures.
See Tire Pressure 0290.
. Inspect the tires for wear. See Tire
Inspection 0296.
. Check the windshield washer fluid
level. See Washer Fluid 0269.
Engine Oil Change
Change the engine oil and filter when
the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message displays, 12 000 km/7,500 mi,
or at one year, whichever comes first.
If driven under the best conditions,
the engine oil life system may not
indicate the need for vehicle service
for up to a year. The engine oil and
filter must be changed at least once a
year and the oil life system must be
reset. Your trained dealer technician
can perform this work. If the engine oil life system is reset accidentally,
service the vehicle within 5 000 km/
3,000 mi since the last service. Reset
the oil life system when the oil is
changed. See
Engine Oil Life
System 0259.
Tire Rotation and Required
Services Every 12 000 km/
7,500 mi
Rotate the tires, if recommended for
the vehicle, and perform the following
services. See Tire Rotation0296.
. Check engine oil level and oil
life percentage. If needed, change
engine oil and filter, and reset oil
life system. See Engine Oil0257
and Engine Oil Life System 0259.
. Check engine coolant level. See
Engine Coolant 0264.
. Check windshield washer fluid
level. See Washer Fluid 0269.
. Visually inspect windshield wiper
blades for wear, cracking,
or contamination. See Exterior
Care 0315. Replace worn or
damaged wiper blades. See Wiper
Blade Replacement 0274.
