located in the lower part of the
instrument panel in the center and
in the left rear of the cab.
The cover (1) must be opened in
order to carry out inspection and
replacement. In addition, the
cover (1) of the relay box at the left
rear of the cab must also be opened
at this time.
If you should spill water or a
beverage on the cover, wipe it off
before opening the cover.
The area around the cover may get
warm when the vehicle is being
driven, but this is not abnormal.Replacing Fuses
1. Before replacing fuses, firmly apply the parking brake, move
the selector lever to the
P (Park) position, and turn the
engine control switch to the
LOCK position.
2. The fuse puller is stored in the fuse box inside the cab. Place
the fuse puller on the fuse and
pull it out.
3. If the fuse appears asshown (2), the fuse is blown.
Replace with a spare fuse (1).
Spare fuses are stored in the

304 Vehicle Care
Damaged Tires
{Danger
It is dangerous to mount the
wrong size tire on a wheel. If you
do so, the tire/wheel can explode
as air is being added. This
explosion may result in severe
personal injury or death. To learn
which wheels and tires are
correct, look at the "VIN, Weight
Rating, and Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) Emissions Plate" on the
left side rear pillar panel below
the striker (single cab) or on the
left center pillar panel beside the
shoulder seat belt anchor (crew
cab). Wheel size is also stamped
on the side of each wheel.
To help avoid personal injury and
property damage if a wheel must
be changed, seek expert tire
services if you can. If you must
remove the wheel without any
such help, do the following:(Continued)
Danger (Continued)
.If the tire looks as if it may
be underinflated, stand to
the side and check whether
the wheel assembly
appears normal by
comparing it to another
wheel assembly on the
vehicle.
. Let the air out of the tire by
taking out the valve core.
If you have a way to put air
back in a tire, note that it is
good safety practice to let
the air out of both tires of a
dual assembly before taking
off the damaged tire and rim
assembly from the vehicle.
After letting out the air, take
off the tire and rim assembly
and install a spare tire and
rim assembly.
If your vehicle is equipped
with a differential lock
system or limited slip
differential (LSD), it might
(Continued)
Danger (Continued)
start moving when the
engine power is transmitted
to the rear axle even when
one of the wheels on the
axle is raised clear of the
ground. Do not start the
engine with any rear wheel
in contact with the ground.
If you are not fully
experienced on the
procedures to follow, and/or
are not equipped with the
proper tools and equipment,
again, do not attempt to
raise the vehicle, or remove
or install the tire and wheel
assembly—seek expert tire
services.
. Do not put air back in a tire
that has been run flat, or is
seriously low on air, without
first having the tire taken off
the wheel and the tire
checked for damage.

the negative (–) terminal which
is grounded (attached to the
engine block, or frame rail).
2. Position the vehicle with the good (charged) battery so that
the booster (jumper) cables will
reach. But never let the
vehicles touch. Also, be sure
the booster cables to be used
do not have loose or missing
insulation.
3. In both vehicles, turn off the ignition (engine control) switch
and all lights and accessories
except the hazard flasher or
any lights needed for the work
area. In both vehicles, apply
the parking brake firmly and
move the selector lever to the
"P" position.
4. Unlatch the latches (1) and
remove the battery cover (2)
and connect the jumper cables
in the numbered sequence in
the drawing below. Make sure
the cable clamps do not touch
any other metal parts. Make sure the cables are not
on or near pulleys, fans or
other parts that will move when
the engine is started.
When it is difficult to start the
engine in a cold area, first start
the engine of the vehicle with
the booster battery or batteries
and a few minutes after that
start the engine of the disabled
vehicle.

Towing the Vehicle
Consult your dealer or a
professional towing service if the
disabled vehicle must be towed.
Proper equipment must be used to
prevent damage to vehicles during
any towing. State and local laws
which apply to vehicles in tow must
be followed. Vehicles should not be
towed at speeds in excess of
88 km/h (55 mph).
Connect to the main structural parts
of the vehicle. Do not attach to
bumpers, tow hooks or brackets.
Use only equipment designed for
this purpose. Follow the instructions
of the wrecker manufacturer.
A safety chain system must
be used.
The procedures below must be
followed when towing to prevent
possible damage.Front End Towing (Front Wheels
Off Ground)
To prepare a disabled vehicle for
front end towing with front wheels
raised off the ground, the following
steps are necessary:
.
Block the rear wheels of the
disabled vehicle.
. Disconnect the driveshaft at the
rear axle. Secure the driveshaft
to the frame or crossmember.
When towing, disconnect the
driveshaft at the rear axle to ensure
the transmission is not damaged.
The rear end of the driveshaft must
be disconnected and safely secured
if the 80 km (50 mi) or 48 km/h
(30 mph) is exceeded.
If there is damage or suspected
damage to the rear axle, remove the
axle shafts. Cover the hub openings
to prevent the loss of lubricant or
entry of dirt or foreign objects.
Place a 10 cm (4 in) wood beam
against the towing guide behind the
bumper. (If no 10 cm (4 in) is
available, then remove the bumper.) Ensure towing chains do not come
into contact with the horns or the
bumper. (If towing chains contact
the bumper, then remove the
bumper.)
1. Horns
2. Bumper
After Towing
After towing the vehicle, block the
rear wheels and install axle shafts
or driveshaft.
Apply the parking brake before
disconnecting from the towing
vehicle.
