the vehicle facing downhill.
Keeping your foot on the
regular brake, set the parking
brake.
.To check the parking brake's
holding ability: With the
engine running and the
transmission in N (Neutral),
slowly remove foot pressure
from the regular brake pedal.
Do this until the vehicle is
held by the parking
brake only.
.Automatic transmission
vehicles only: To check the
P (Park) mechanism's holding
ability: With the engine
running, shift to P (Park).
Then release the parking

Wiper Blade
Replacement
Windshield wiper blades
should be inspected for wear
or cracking.
It is a good idea to clean or
replace the wiper blade
assembly on a regular basis or
when worn. For proper
windshield wiper blade length
and type, see Maintenance
Replacement Parts 0477.
Caution
Allowing the wiper arm to
touch the windshield when
no wiper blade is installed
could damage the
windshield. Any damage that
occurs would not be
covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not allow the
wiper arm to touch the
windshield.
To replace the wiper blade
assembly: 1. Pull the windshield wiper
assembly away from the
windshield. The passenger
side wiper arm has limited
travel.
2. Lift up on the latch in themiddle of the wiper blade
where the wiper arm
attaches.
3. With the latch open, pull the wiper blade down
toward the windshield far
enough to release it from
the J-hooked end of the
wiper arm.

Fuses and circuit breakers
protect power devices in the
vehicle.
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.
To check a fuse, look at the
band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure to
replace a bad fuse with a fuse
of the identical size and rating.
Replacing a Blown Fuse

Passenger (P-Metric) Tire
(1) Passenger (P-Metric)
Tire
:The United States
version of a metric tire
sizing system. The letter
"P" as the first character in
the tire size means a
passenger vehicle tire
engineered to standards
set by the U.S. Tire and Rim
Association.
(2) Tire Width
:The 3-digit
number indicates the tire
section width in millimeters
from sidewall to sidewall.
(3) Aspect Ratio
:A 2-digit
number that indicates the
tire height-to-width
measurements. For
example, if the tire size aspect ratio is 75, as
shown in item (3) of the
illustration, it would mean
that the tire's sidewall is
75 percent as high as it
is wide.
(4) Construction Code
:A
letter code is used to
indicate the type of ply
construction in the tire. The
letter "R" means radial ply
construction; the letter "D"
means diagonal or bias ply
construction.
(5) Rim Diameter
:
Diameter of the wheel in
inches.
(6) Service Description
:
These characters
represent the load index
and speed rating of the
tire. The load index
represents the load
carrying capacity a tire is
certified to carry. The speed rating is the
maximum speed a tire is
certified to carry a load.
Tire Terminology and
Definitions
Air Pressure:The amount
of air inside the tire
pressing outward on each
square inch of the tire. Air
pressure is expressed
in kPa (kilopascal) or psi
(pounds per square inch).
Aspect Ratio
:The
relationship of a tire's
height to its width.
Belt
:A rubber coated layer
of cords that is located
between the plies and the
tread. Cords may be made
from steel or other
reinforcing materials.

UTQGS (Uniform Tire
Quality Grading
Standards)
:A tire
information system that
provides consumers with
ratings for a tire's traction,
temperature, and
treadwear. Ratings are
determined by tire
manufacturers using
government testing
procedures. The ratings
are molded into the
sidewall of the tire. See
Uniform Tire Quality
Grading 0439.
Vehicle Capacity Weight
:
The number of designated
seating positions multiplied
by 68 kg (150 lbs) plus the
rated cargo load. See
Vehicle Load Limits 0261. Vehicle Maximum Load on
the Tire
:Load on an
individual tire due to curb
weight, accessory weight,
occupant weight, and cargo
weight.
Vehicle Placard
:A label
permanently attached to a
vehicle showing the
vehicle's capacity weight
and the original equipment
tire size and recommended
inflation pressure. See “Tire
and Loading Information
Label” under Vehicle Load
Limits 0261.
Tire Pressure
Tires need the correct
amount of air pressure to
operate effectively.
{Warning
Neither tire underinflation
nor overinflation is good.
Underinflated tires,
or tires that do not have
enough air, can result in:
.Tire overloading and
overheating, which
could lead to a blowout
.Premature or
irregular wear
.Poor handling
.Reduced fuel economy
for internal combustion
engine vehicles
.Reduced range for
electric vehicles

Warning (Continued)
procedures, as described in
the service manual,
are used.
If a tire goes flat, avoid further
tire and wheel damage by
driving slowly to a level place,
well off the road, if possible.
Turn on the hazard warning
flashers. See Hazard Warning
Flashers 0156.
This vehicle may come with a
tire sealant and compressor
kit. To use the tire sealant and
compressor kit, see Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit
0 444.
Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit
{Warning
Idling a vehicle in an
enclosed area with poor
ventilation is dangerous.
Engine exhaust may enter
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
the vehicle. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide
(CO) which cannot be seen
or smelled. It can cause
unconsciousness and even
death. Never run the engine
in an enclosed area that has
no fresh air ventilation. For
more information, see
Engine Exhaust0276.
{Warning
Overinflating a tire could
cause the tire to rupture
and you or others could be
injured. Be sure to read and
follow the tire sealant and
compressor kit instructions
and inflate the tire to its
recommended pressure. Do
not exceed the
recommended pressure.
{Warning
Storing the tire sealant and
compressor kit or other
equipment in the passenger
compartment of the vehicle
could cause injury. In a
sudden stop or collision,
loose equipment could strike
someone. Store the tire
sealant and compressor kit
in its original location.
If this vehicle has a tire sealant
and compressor kit, there may
not be a spare tire or tire
changing equipment, and on
some vehicles there may not
be a place to store a tire.
The tire sealant and
compressor can be used to
temporarily seal punctures up
to 6 mm (0.25 in) in the tread
area of the tire. It can also be
used to inflate an
underinflated tire.
