Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Safety Belt Reminder Light
8
When the key is turned to
RUN or START, a chime
will come on for about eight
seconds
to remind people to
fasten their safety belts,
unless the driver’s safety
belt is already buckled.
The safety belt light will also come on and stay on
until
the driver’s belt is buckled.
Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR
BAG or the air bag symbol.
The system checks the air bag’s electrical system for
malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. The system check includes the air bag sensors
and modules, the wiring and the diagnostic module. For
more information on the air bag system, see “Air Bag”
in the Index.
You will see this light flash
for
a few seconds when you
turn your ignition to RUN
or START. Then the light
should go out. This means
the system is ready.
1
If the air bag readiness light doesn’t come on when you
start your vehicle, or
stays on, or comes on when you
are driving, your air bag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has to have a
different
turn signal flasher and extra wiring. The green
arrows on your instrument panel will flash whenever
you signal a turn or lane change. Properly hooked up,
the trailer lamps will also flash, telling other drivers
you’re about to turn, change lanes or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows
on your
instrument panel will flash for turns even if the bulbs on
the trailer are burned out. Thus, you may think drivers
behind
you are seeing your signal when they are not. It’s
important to check occasionally to be sure the trailer
bulbs are still working.
Driving On Grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start
down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t shift
down, you might have to use your brakes
so much that
they would get hot and no longer work well.
On a long uphill grade, shift down and reduce your
speed
to around 45 mph (70 km/h) to reduce the
possibility of engine and transaxle overheating. If
you are towing a trailer, you may want to drive in
DRIVE (D) instead
of OVERDRIVE (0) (or, as you
need to, a lower gear).
Parking on Hills
You really should not park your vehicle, with a trailer
attached, on
a hill. If something goes wrong, your rig
could start to move. People can be injured, and both
your vehicle and the trailer can be damaged.
But
if you ever have to park your rig on a hill, here’s
how to do it:
1. Apply your regular brakes, but don’t shift into
PARK (P) yet.
2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.
3. When the wheel chocks are in place, release the
regular brakes until the chocks absorb the load.
4. Reapply the regular brakes. Then apply your parking
brake, and then shift to PARK (P).
5. Release the regular brakes.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
in the wiring itself. This
greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.
- Some fuses are in a fuse
block on the passenger side
of the instrument panel. Pull
I FUSES to expose the fuses.

Additional fuses are in the underhood electrical centers
on the right and left sides of the engine compartment.
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,

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the underhood electrical center. 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
system checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and a fuse.
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, have
it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the 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 fixed.
