3. To install the lamps, performthe same sequence of
operations in reverse, taking
care to turn the connector
clockwise to lock it securely.
If the socket is not locked securely,
water could get inside the lamp and
lead to a breakdown.
Replacing a Front Turn
Signal Lamp
Do not replace a bulb with other
than the specified wattage. This will
cause abnormal flashing,
particularly for turn signal lamps. When replacing a bulb, make sure
the light switch is OFF.
1. While referring to “Replacing
the Headlights”, tilt the turn
signal lamp assembly down
toward the front of the vehicle
and remove it.
2. Disconnect the connector for the turn signal light and then
remove the socket.
3. Pull the bulb from the socketand replace it with a new one.
4. To install the lamps, perform the same sequence of
operations in reverse, taking
care to turn the connector
clockwise to lock it securely.
If the socket is not locked securely,
water could get inside the light and
lead to a breakdown.

Roofmarker Lamps
1. Loosen the screws (2) andremove the lens (1).
2. Remove the bulb (3) from the socket (4) and replace it with a
new one.
3. To install the lights, follow the removal procedure in reverse.
If the screwing procedure is
inadequate, water may infiltrate into
the lamp unit.
Sidemarker Lamps
(Including Turn Signal
and Cornering Lamps)
Do not replace a bulb with other
than the specified wattage. This will
cause abnormal flashing,
particularly for turn signal lamps.
When replacing a bulb, make sure
the light switch is "OFF".
1. Open the front door, remove the rubber cap (1) in the lower
part of the door, and loosen
the nut (2).
2. Slide the cornering lamp (3)and the side turn signal lamp
forward relative to the vehicle.
Disconnect the clip (1) on the
lamp’s rear side from the door
panel (2) and pull out the lamp.
If you pull out the light rear
section by too much when
removing the clip on the rear
side, the clip on the lamp front
side may be damaged.

Electrical System
Electrical System
Overload
Electrical System
Following the after-delivery service,
it is the owner's responsibility to
check all wiring periodically for
cracked, chafed or oil-soaked
insulation and maintain it in a clean
and tight condition to ensure
satisfactory operation of the
electrical system.
Replacing the Fuses and Relays
Your vehicle is equipped with fuses
and fusible links to protect your
electrical wiring and equipment in
case of electrical overload.
When the lights do not come on or
flash, or the equipment in the
electrical system does not operate,
check to see if a fuse has blown. Fuses :
In case of an electrical
overload, the fuse will blow and stop
the flow of current in the circuit
before electrical components
become damaged.
The cause of the circuit overload
must be identified and corrected
before the blown fuse is replaced,
or else the new fuse will also blow.
Since different circuits handle
different amounts of current, fuses
of various ampere ratings are used.
Be sure to replace a blown fuse with
a fuse of the correct rating.
To know if a fuse is blown or not,
remove the suspected fuse and look
at the wire for a break. If the wire is
broken, replace the fuse with one of
equal amperage rating.
The amperage rating of each fuse is
molded in its head.
Fuses are installed in the fuse
panel.

11 FUEL HEATER When Slow-blow Fuses Blow Out
Slow-blow fuses protect the
electrical circuits, and they are
installed so that they can be quickly
replaced if there is a malfunction.
If an overload exists in the circuit
from the battery, the slow-blow fuse
will blow out before the wiring
harness is damaged to protect the
electrical circuitry. InspectionWhen the headlights and other
devices in the electrical system do
not work, but there is no problem
with the fuses, check the
slow-blow fuse.
The slow-blow fuse is blown if it
looks like the illustration.
Immediately contact the nearest
dealer.

If the original equipment tires are
low rolling tires, it is recommended
to use the LRRA tires shown in the
above table.
Refer to the emission control
identifiers on Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) emission plate for your
original equipment tires. Also,
please refer to “VIN, Weight Rating,
and Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
Emissions Plate” for the location of
the Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
emission plate. See Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) 0330. Wheel Replacement
Recommendations
Wheels must be replaced if they
become damaged (for example:
bent, heavily rusted, leak air) or if
wheel nuts often become loose. Do
not use bent wheels that have been
straightened and do not use inner
tubes in leaking wheels which are
designed for tubeless tires. Such
wheels may have structural damage
and could fail without warning.
When replacing wheels for any
reason, the new wheels should be
equal in load capacity, diameter,
width, offset and mounting types to
those originally installed in your
vehicle. A wheel of the wrong size or type
may adversely affect wheel and
bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer/odometer calibration,
stopping ability, headlight aim,
bumper height, vehicle ground
clearance and tire or tire chain
clearance on the body and chassis.
Replacement with "used" wheels is
not advised. They may have been
subjected to harsh treatment or very
high mileage and could fail without
warning.

{Warning
For safety and the protection of
the vehicle, do not push-start the
vehicle.
Never tow the vehicle to start
because a surge forward when
the engine starts could cause a
collision with the tow vehicle.
Also, this vehicle has a 12-volt
battery, 12-volt starting system
and a negative ground electrical
system; be sure the vehicle or
equipment used to jump start your
engine is also 12-volt. Use of any
other system may damage the
vehicle's electrical components.
Under no circumstances should
the battery's positive and negative
terminals be put in contact with
one another.
When connecting the cables,
under no circumstances should
the clips be allowed to touch each
other.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Do not disconnect a battery
terminal with the engine running.
It could cause a breakdown in the
electrical system.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
If you notice battery fluid leaking,
have an inspection carried out
immediately by the nearest dealer.
Diesel engine vehicles have more
than one battery because of the
higher torque required to start a
diesel engine. This procedure can
be used to start a single-battery
vehicle from any of the diesel
vehicle's batteries. However, at low
temperatures, it may not be possible
to start a diesel engine from a single
battery from another vehicle. 1. Use a vehicle that has a charged battery with the same
voltage. Make sure that the
other vehicle also has a 12-volt
starting system, and that it is 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) andremove 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.
5. After connecting the cables,start the engine of the vehicle
with the booster battery. 6. Slightly rev up the engine of
the vehicle with the booster
battery and start the engine of
the disabled vehicle.
