3. Install the new wiper blade and
make sure the wiper blade
locks into place.
For the proper size and type see
Maintenance Replacement Parts on
page 6-14.
Backglass Wiper Blade
To replace the backglass wiper
blade:
1. Pull the wiper blade assembly
away from the backglass.
The backglass wiper blade will
not lock in a vertical position
so care should be used when
pulling it away from the vehicle.
2. Rotate the wiper blade assembly,
hold the wiper arm in position,
and push the blade away
from the wiper arm.
3. Replace the wiper blade.
4. Return the wiper arm and blade
assembly to the rest position on
the glass.
Tires
Your new vehicle comes with
high-quality tires made by a
leading tire manufacturer.
If you ever have questions about
your tire warranty and where to
obtain service, see your vehicle
Warranty booklet for details.
For additional information refer
to the tire manufacturer.
{CAUTION
Poorly maintained and
improperly used tires are
dangerous.
Overloading your
vehicle’s tires can cause
overheating as a result
of too much exing. You
could have an air-out and
a serious accident. See
Loading the Vehicle on
page 4-16.
(Continued)
CAUTION (Continued)
Underin ated tires pose
the same danger as
overloaded tires. The
resulting accident could
cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently to
maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure
should be checked when
your vehicle’s tires are
cold. SeeInflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-41.
Overin ated tires are more
likely to be cut, punctured,
or broken by a sudden
impact — such as when
you hit a pothole. Keep
tires at the recommended
pressure.
Worn, old tires can cause
accidents. If the tire’s tread
is badly worn, or if your
vehicle’s tires have been
damaged, replace them.

Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is
protected by a circuit breaker and a
fuse. If the motor overheats due
to heavy snow or ice, the wiper will
stop until the motor cools. If the
overload is caused by some
electrical problem, have it xed.
Power Windows and
Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse block
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 xed or goes away.
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. This greatly reduces the
chance of res 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 identical size and rating.Fuses of the same amperage can
be temporarily borrowed from
another fuse location, if a fuse goes
out. Replace the fuse as soon as
you can.
Instrument Panel Fuse
Block
The instrument panel fuse block
is located under the instrument
panel on the passenger side of the
vehicle. Pull down on the cover
to access the fuse block.
