I A CAUTION:
1
Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns
violently, and that can cause very bad injuries.
Don't smoke if you're near gasoline or refueling your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from gasoline.
To use this feature,
your vehicle must be in
PARK (P). Press the fuel
door unlock button located
on the.instrument panel
center console to unlock and
open the fuel door. You can
also press the fuel button on
the
RKE transmitter to
access the fuel cap. While
refueling, hang the tethered fuel cap inside the
fuel door as shown
by the arrow.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites
it, you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you
if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen
if your tank is nearly full, and is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for any “hiss” noise to stop. Then unscrew
the cap all the
way.
Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See “Cleaning the
Outside of Your Catera” in the Index.
When
you put the cap back on, turn it to the right
(clockwise) until you hear a clicking sound. Make sure
you fully install the cap.
Checking Things Under the Hood
A CAC-ION:
An electric fan under the hood can start up and
injure you even when the engine
is not running.
Keep hands, clothing and tools away from any
underhood electric fan.
Things that burn can get on hot engine parts and
start a fire. These include liquids like gasoline,
oil, coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer and
other fluids, and plastic or rubber. You or others
could be burned. Be careful not to drop or spill
things that will burn onto a hot engine.

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. NOTICE:
Don’t add too much oil. If your engine has so
much oil that the oil level gets above the upper
mark that shows the proper operating range, your engine could be damaged.
The oil fill cap is located
behind the engine oil dipstick and next to the
engine block on the driver’s
side of the engine. Turn the
cap counterclockwise to
remove it.
When to Add Oil
If the oil is at or below the MIN mark, then you’ll
need to add at least one quart of oil. But you must use
the right kind. This part explains what kind of oil to use.
For crankcase capacity, see “Capacities and
Specifications” in the Index. Be sure
to fill
it enough to put the level somewhere in
the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all the way
back in when you’re through.

It’s 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 “Normal
Maintenance Replacement Parts” later in this section.
To replace the wiper blade assembly:
1. Position the wipers on the windshield in the “mid”
wipe position.
2. Press the tabs together and pull the wiper blade
assembly down enough to release it from the
“J”
hooked end of the wiper arm. Slide the assembly
away from the arm.
3. Replace the blade.
4. To reinstall the wiper blade assembly, slide it over
the wiper arm
to engage the “J” hooked end on the
wiper blade assembly. Pull up on the assembly to
lock it into place.

The headlamp wiring has an individual fuse which is
powered by a MaxiFuse@. An electrical overload will
cause the lamps to
go on and off, or in some cases to
remain
off. If this happens, have the headlamp wiring
checked right away.
MaxiFuseRelay Center
MaxiFuse is a registered trademark of Little
Fuse Incorporated.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is powered by a MaxiFuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the
wipers will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload
is caused by some electrical problem, be sure to have
it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers 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 fixed or goes away. The MaxiFuseRelay
center is attached to the engine
compartment fuse block on top of the battery. Simply
lift the lid
to open. If you have any questions about the
MaxiFuseRelay Center, consult your Catera dealer.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
the short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused
by electrical problems.
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.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have
a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one that has the same
amperage. 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 correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
There
are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the instrument
panel fuse blocks and the engine compartment relay center.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block (Driver’s Side)
The fuse block is located below the steering wheel on
the driver’s side. Using a screwdriver, loosen the two
trim fasteners under the trim panel and pull the trim
panel away from the instrument panel to access.
