REPLACING FUSES
General Information
Warning!
When replacing a blown fuse, always
use an appropriate replacement fuse with
the same amp rating as the original fuse.
Never replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace a blown
fuse with metal wires or any other material.
Failure to use proper fuses may result in
serious personal injury, fire and/or property
damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that
the ignition is off and that all the other
services are switched off and/or
disengaged.

an authorized dealer.
If a general protection fuse for safety
systems (air bag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system,
gearbox system) or steering system blows,
contact an authorized dealer.
Your vehicle's electrical system is
protected by fuses.
If any lights, accessories, or controls do
not work, inspect the appropriate circuit
protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside
element will be melted. If the same fuse
blows again, go to an Authorized Dealer
as soon as possible. Fuse location
Fuses are grouped together in two fuse
boxes located in the interior on the left
side of the vehicle and under the hood.

the ground, release the parking brake.
Caution!
DO NOT use sling-type equipment when
towing. When securing the vehicle to a
flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to your
vehicle may result from improper towing.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, the vehicle may be towed
with all four wheels on the ground using
the towing hook at the front of the
vehicle. Only tow the vehicle on paved
surfaces for short distances at low
speeds.
Follow these instructions when towing
the vehicle with all wheels on the
ground:
1. Shift to NEUTRAL for manual
transmission or automatic transmission.
2. Place the ignition to ACC.
3. Release the parking brake.
Note:
Remember that power assist for the
brakes and steering will not be available
when the engine is not running.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

Lubricate the external lock cylinders
twice a year. Apply a small amount of
high-quality lubricant directly into the
lock cylinder. If necessary, contact your
Authorized Dealer.
Wiper Blades
Contamination of either the windshield
or the blades with foreign matter can
reduce wiper effectiveness. Common
sources are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes.
If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a
good cleaner or mild detergent; then
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Repeat if necessary.
When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is placed in the
ON mode, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched.
If the windshield above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object.
If the rain sensor is struck with a
hand or other object from inside the
vehicle. Note:
Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to affect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gas, paraffin, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
Be careful not to pinch hands or
fingers as it may cause injury, or
damage the wipers. When washing or
