MAINTENANCE
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Inspecting and Changing Fuses
1. Turn the vehicle off, including all lights and
accessories.
2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Check the large fuse in the engine compartment.
4. If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screws and replace the fuse with a new one. Reinstall the screws.
5. Inspect the small fuses in the engine compartment and the vehicle interior.
6. If there is a burned out fuse, remove it with the fuse puller and replace it with a new one.Blown fuse
Combined fuse

Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chances of damaging the electrical system.
NOTICE
MAINTENANCE
Learn about basic maintenance that you can perform on the vehicle yourself, as well as information about how to best maintain the vehicle.
Safety Precautions
Some of the most important safety precautions are listed below; however, we cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task.
Maintenance Safety
• To reduce the possibility of re or explosion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and ames
away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.
• Never leave rags, towels, or other ammable objects under the hood.
• To clean parts, use a commercially available degreaser or parts cleaner, not
gasoline.
• Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with the battery or
compressed air.
• Do not run the engine in con ned spaces where carbon monoxide gas can
accumulate.
Vehicle Safety
• The vehicle must be stationary, and parked on level ground with the parking brake
set and the engine off.
• Be aware that hot parts can burn you.
• Be aware that moving parts can injure you.
Improperly maintaining this vehicle or failing to correct a problem before driving can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations according to the schedules in this guide.
WARNING
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions can cause you to be seriously hurt or killed. Always follow the procedures and precautions in this guide.

MAINTENANCE
*1: If a Maintenance Minder message does not appear more than 12 months after the display is
reset, change the engine oil every year.
*2: If you drive in dusty conditions, replace the air cleaner element every 24,000 km (15,000 miles). *3:
If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industryand diesel-powered vehicles, replace the dust and pollen lter every 24,000 km (15,000 miles).
*4: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher transmission
temperatures. This requires transmission uid changes more frequently than recommended by
the Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions, have the
transmission uid changed every 40,000 km (25,000 miles).
*5: If a Maintenance Minder Indicator does not appear more than 36 months after the display for

Checking the Battery
Check the battery terminals for corrosion monthly. For jump starting, see page 114.
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation. A spark or ame 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. Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
WARNING
Changing Wiper Blades
If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning them rst with a paper towel or soft cloth and wiper uid. If the wiper blade rubber has deteriorated, you should change the wiper blades.
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Hold the wiper switch in the MIST position, then turn the vehicle on. Both wiper arms lift up. Turn the vehicle off.
3. Lift both wiper arms.
4. Press and hold the tab, then slide the blade holder toward the base of the wiper arm.
5. Slide the wiper blade out from its holder by pulling the tabbed end out.
6. Slide the new wiper blade into the holder. The tab on the holder should t in the indent of the wiper blade.
7. Slide the wiper blade holder onto the wiper arm securely.
8. Lower the passenger side wiper arm rst, then the driver side.
