MAINTENANCEMAINTENANCE
Checking the Battery
Check the battery terminals for corrosion monthly.
The battery condition is monitored by a sensor on 
the negative terminal. If there is a problem with the 
sensor, a message on the information display*/multi-
information display* appears. Have your vehicle 
checked by a dealer.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead\

compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or 
seriously hurt you.
When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and a 
face shield, or have a skilled technician do it.
WARNING
Window Washer Fluid
If the washer fluid level is low, fill the washer reservoir. 
Pour the washer fluid carefully. Do not overflow the
reservoir.
Canadian models
If the washer fluid level is low, the washer level 
indicator or a message appears on the multi-information
display.
Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield washer 
reservoir. Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint. A vinegar/water solution 
can damage the windshield washer pump.

Changing Wiper Blades
If the  wiper  blades  leave streaks  across the windshield,  try cleaning  them first with  a 
paper towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber has deteriorated, 
you should change the wiper blades.
1. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the
passenger side.
2. Press and hold the tab, then slide the blade from 
the wiper arm.
3. Slide the wiper blade out from its holder by pulling 
the tabbed end out.
4. Remove the retainers from the rubber blade that 
has been removed, and mount to a new rubber 
blade. Correctly align the rubber protrusion and the 
retainer grooves.
5. Slide the new wiper blade onto the holder from the 
bottom end. The tab on the holder should fit in the 
indent of the wiper blade.
6. Slide  the wiper  blade onto the wiper  arm, then  push 
down the lock tab.
7. Lower the passenger side wiper arm first, then the
driver side.

SPECIFICATIONSMAINTENANCE
Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has “readiness codes” as part of the onboard self-diagnostic system. 
Some states refer to these codes as a test to see if your vehicle’s emissions
components are working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the 
testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine\
. The
malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes off, the 
readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness codes are set, 
prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).
4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle\
for 20
seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in Park (P) or Neutral for manual transmission. Increase the 
engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there for about 3 minutes.
6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7. Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed 
of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway 
with the vehicle in Drive (D) or 5th gear. Do not use cruise control. When traffic 
allows, drive for 90 seconds without using the accelerator pedal. (vehicle speed
may vary slightly; this is OK.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds  
because of traffic conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat two more 
times (for a total of 90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic conditions 
allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal.
9. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again 
only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you may be 
requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your dealer.
