This switch is located behind the
service panel on the right side of
the cargo area.
To reset the switch:
1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Check the fuel system for leaks.
3. If no leaks are apparent, reset the
switch by pushing in on the reset
button.
4. Turn the ignition ON.

the key to OFF.
6. Make another check of leaks.
FUSES AND RELAYS
Fuses
If electrical components in the
vehicle are not working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown fuses are
identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate
fuses before replacing any electrical
components.
Note:Always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage
rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire
damage and could start a fire.

Passenger compartment fuse panel
The fuse panel is located below and to the left of the steering wheel by
the brake pedal. Remove the panel cover to access the fuses. To remove
the fuse panel cover, pull up on the latch on the top left side of the
cover.
To remove a fuse use the fuse puller tool provided on the fuse panel
cover.
Your vehicle is equipped with a Pull Fuse feature that when used, can
extend the duration of your battery life while your vehicle is parked for
long periods of time. This time will be increased from 31 days to 45–55
days (based on option content). You should use this feature when your
vehicle will be parked for long periods of times to ensure the vehicle
starts upon your return.
The pull fuse is located under the instrument panel and is visible from
the exterior of the fuse panel cover.

removed by pulling it completely out from the fuse panel cover.
With the fuse (#6) removed, the following systems will not be functional:
•radio
•power sliding door(s)–(if equipped)
•keyless entry system–(if equipped)
When the pull fuse is reinstalled, the following features will need to be
reset.
•radio pre-sets
•power sliding door(s)–(if equipped)
Please refer to theEntertainmentchapter andPower Sliding Door
section in theDriver controlschapter for instructions to reset these
