(Continued)
•
The negative battery cable
must be removed first and
installed last when the battery
is disconnected.
• Disconnect the battery charg-
er in the following order.
1. Turn off the battery charger
main switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery
terminal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery
terminal.
When recharging the battery,
observe the following precau-
tions:
•Before performing mainte-
nance or recharging the bat-
tery, turn off all accessories
and stop the engine.
• Do not allow cigarettes,
sparks, or flame near the bat-
tery.
• Wear eye protection when
checking the battery during
charging.
• The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed in
an area with good ventilation.
• Watch the battery during
charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the battery
cells begin gassing (boiling)
violently or if the temperature
of the electrolyte of any cell
exceeds 49°C (120°F).

Maintenance
TYRES AND WHEELS
Tyre care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tyre
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
Recommended cold tyre infla-
tion pressures
All tyre pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tyres are cold. “Cold Tyres” means the
vehicle has not been driven for at
least three hours or driven less than 1
mile (1.6 km).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top vehi-
cle handling, and minimum tyre wear.
For recommended inflation pres-
sure refer to “Tyre and wheels” in
chapter 8.All specifications (sizes and pres-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the vehicle. Tyre underinflation
Severe underinflation (70 kPa
(10 psi) or more) can lead to
severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separation and
other tyre failures that can
result in the loss of vehicle con-
trol leading to severe injury or
death. This risk is much higher
on hot days and when driving
for long periods at high speeds.

Maintenance
Tyre rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recom-
mended that the tyres be rotated
every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, check the tyres for
correct balance.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tyre pres-
sure, improper wheel alignment, out-
of-balance wheels, severe braking or
severe cornering. Look for bumps or
bulges in the tread or side of tyre.
Replace the tyre if you find either of
these conditions. Replace the tyre if
fabric or cord is visible. After rotation,
be sure to bring the front and rear tyre
pressures to specification and check
lug nut tightness.
Refer to “Tyre and wheels” in
chapter 8.
Disc brake pads should be inspectedfor wear whenever tyres are rotated.
Information
The outside and inside of the unsym-
metrical tyre is distinguishable. When
installing an unsymmetrical tyre, be
sure to install the side marked "out-
side" face the outside. If the side
marked "inside" is installed on the
outside, it will have a bad effect on
vehicle performance.
i
•Do not use the compact spare
tyre for tyre rotation.
•Do not mix bias ply and radial
ply tyres under any circum-
stances. This may cause unusu-
al handling characteristics that
could result in death, severe
injury, or property damage.

*1: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2: Engine oils labelled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reduc- ing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in ayear’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
