Inflation -- Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label, which is on the
driver’s door lock pillar, shows
the correct inflation
pressures for your tires when they’re cold. “Cold”
means your vehicle has been sitting for at least
three hours or driven
no more than 1 mile ( 1.6 km).
I NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or
overinflation is all right. It’s not.
If your tires
don’t have enough air (underinflation), you can
get the following:
Too much flexing
Too much heat
Tire overloading
Bad wear
Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
NOTICE: (Continued) NOTICE:
(Continued)
If your tires have too much air (overinflation),
you can get the following:
Unusual wear
Bad handling
Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.
When to Check
Check your tires once a month or more. Also, check
the tire pressure of the spare tire.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. You can’t tell
if your tires are properly inflated
simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they’re underinflated.
Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems.
They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by fuses, circuit breakers and thermal links
in the wiring itself.
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 correct size.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t
have a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one. 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 size you need. Replace it as
soon as you can.
Before replacing
a fuse, turn every vehicle electrical
switch
off.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
This fuse box is under the left side of the instrument
panel. The fuses here protect each separate circuit
There are two fuse blocks
in your vehicle: the instrument
including headlamps. If you have failure,
panel fuse block and the engine compartment fuse block.
