California Proposition 65 Warning
Most motor vehicles, including this one, contain
and/or emit chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Engine exhaust,
many parts and systems (including some inside
the vehicle), many uids, and some component
wear by-products contain and/or emit these
chemicals.
Doing Your Own Service Work
{CAUTION:
You can be injured and your vehicle could
be damaged if you try to do service work
on a vehicle without knowing enough
about it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, the proper replacement
parts, and tools before you attempt any
vehicle maintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts,
and other fasteners. English and metric
fasteners can be easily confused. If you
use the wrong fasteners, parts can later
break or fall off. You could be hurt.
If you want to do some of your own service work,
you will want to use the proper service manual.
It tells you much more about how to service your
vehicle than this manual can. To order the
proper service manual, seeService Publications
Ordering Information on page 544.

Checking Engine Oil
It is a good idea to check the engine oil every time
you get fuel. In order to get an accurate reading,
the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be
on level ground.
The engine oil dipstick handle is a yellow loop.
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 410
for the location of the engine oil dipstick.
1. Turn off the engine and give the oil
several minutes to drain back into the oil pan.
If you do not do this, the oil dipstick might
not show the actual level.
2. Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper
towel or cloth, then push it back in all the
way. Remove it again, keeping the tip down,
and check the level.

To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling,
set the parking brake rmly on both vehicles
involved in the jump start procedure. Put
an automatic transaxle in PARK (P) or
a manual transaxle in NEUTRAL before setting
the parking brake.
Notice:If you leave your radio or other
accessories on during the jump starting
procedure, they could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by your warranty.
Always turn off your radio and other
accessories when jump starting your vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles.
Unplug unnecessary accessories plugged into
the cigarette lighter or the accessory power
outlet. Turn off the radio and all lamps that are
not needed. This will avoid sparks and help
save both batteries. And it could save
the radio!
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find
the positive (+) and negative (−) terminal
locations on each vehicle.
You will not need to access your battery for
jump starting. Your vehicle has a remote
positive (+) jump starting terminal for
that purpose.The terminal is located
under the fuse block
cover. Remove
the cover to access the
remote positive (+)
terminal.
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on
page 410for more information on the location
of the remote positive (+) terminal. You
should always use the remote positive (+)
terminal instead of the positive (+) terminal on
your battery.
{CAUTION:
An electric fan can start up even when the
engine is not running and can injure you.
Keep hands, clothing and tools away from
any underhood electric fan.

Notice:If the jumper cables are connected or
removed in the wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the vehicle. The repairs
would not be covered by your warranty. Always
connect and remove the jumper cables in the
correct order, making sure that the cables do
not touch each other or other metal.
A. Heavy, Unpainted Metal Engine Part or Remote

B. Good Battery or Remote Positive (+) Terminal
and Remote Negative (−) Terminals
C. Dead Battery or Remote Positive (+) TerminalTo disconnect the jumper cables from both
vehicles, do the following:
1. Disconnect the black negative (−) cable from
the vehicle that had the dead battery.
2. Disconnect the black negative (−) cable from
the vehicle with the good battery.
3. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the
vehicle with the good battery.
4. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the
other vehicle.
5. Return the remote positive (+) terminal cover
or underhood fuse block cover to its original
position.

To use your accessory inator system, do the
following:
1. Turn the ignition to ACCESSORY or RUN.
2. Attach the appropriate nozzle adapter, if
required, to the end of the hose that has
the pressure gage.
3. Attach that end of the hose to the object you
wish to inate.
4. Remove the protective cap covering the
outlet.
5. Attach the other end of the hose to the outlet.
6. Press the accessory inator switch. The
light in the switch will come on to show
the system is working.
If the accessory inator system does not turn on
or the light does not come on, the fuse may
be blown or installed incorrectly. SeeFuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 497or see your
dealer for service.
Your accessory inator will automatically shut off
after about 10 minutes. The light in the switch
will blink. After about one minute you can use the
system again. Press the switch and the indicator
light will come on.Notice:If you run the accessory inator
longer than 30 minutes at a time, you could
damage the inator. The repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Run the inator
for short periods of time only.
After running the accessory inator for 30 minutes,
wait at least 10 minutes before restarting the
accessory inator.
To turn off the inator, do the following:
1. Press the switch and detach the hose, rst
from the inated object, then from the outlet.
2. Put the protective cap back on.
3. Place the inator kit tools in the pouch, and
store in the rear compartment on the
passenger’s side.
To put the cover back on, line up the tabs at the
bottom of the cover and put it in place. Push down
the tab to secure the cover.

Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before
attempting to add anything electrical to your
vehicle, seeServicing Your Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle on page 91.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by four internal
fuses in the underhood fuse block. An electrical
overload will cause the lamps to go on and off, or
in some cases to remain off. If this happens,
have your headlamp wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by an
internal fuse in the underhood fuse block. If
the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the
wiper will stop until the motor cools. If the
overload is caused by some electrical problem, be
sure to get it xed.
The rear washer pump is controlled by a relay
located in the engine compartment, behind
the windshield washer uid reservoir. The rear
wiper motor is protected by a fuse located in the
instrument panel fuse block.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers in the instrument panel fuse panel
protect the power windows and other power
accessories. When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting
the circuit until the problem is xed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by a combination of fuses,
circuit breakers, and fusible thermal links.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If
the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse.
Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of
the identical size and rating.
497

If you ever have a problem on the road and do not
have a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has
the same amperage or use one of the spare fuses
in the underhood fuse block. Just pick some
feature of your vehicle that you can get along
without, like the radio or cigarette lighter, and use
its fuse if it is the right amperage. Replace it
as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle, the
instrument panel fuse block and the underhood
fuse block.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse block is located at the
right end of the instrument panel, on the
passenger’s side of the vehicle. Open the front
passegner’s door, and remove the cover, to
access the fuse block.
Your vehicle may not have all of the fuses listed.
