If you see any corrosion on the battery orterminals, remove the cables from theterminals and clean with a wire brush. Youcan neutralize the acid with a solution ofbaking soda and water.
Because your vehicle’s engine iselectronically-controlled by a computer,some engine control settings are maintainedby power from the battery. Some enginecomputer settings, like the idle trim and fueltrim strategy, optimize the driveability andperformance of the engine. The clock andradio station presets are also maintained inmemory by power from the low-voltagebattery. These settings are erased when atechnician disconnects and connects thelow-voltage battery.
To restore the settings, do the following:
Note:Until you switch the ignition to the onposition, you will receive a message in yourinformation display stating that your vehicleis not in park.

CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to accommodatenormal changes in pressure. Condensationcan be a natural by-product of this design.When moist air enters the lamp assemblythrough the vents, there is a possibility thatcondensation can occur when thetemperature is cold. When normalcondensation occurs, a thin film of mist canform on the interior of the lens. The thin misteventually clears and exits through the ventsduring normal operation. Clearing time maytake as long as 48 hours under dry weatherconditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•Presence of thin mist (no streaks, dripmarks or droplets).
•Fine mist covers less than 50% of thelens.
Examples of unacceptable moisture (usuallycaused by a lamp water leak) are:
•Water puddle inside the lamp.
•Large water droplets, drip marks orstreaks present on the interior of the lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service ifany of the above conditions of unacceptablemoisture are present.
Replacing Bulbs
For replacing bulbs, see your authorizeddealer.

What to do when a Tire Is Punctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread areacan be repaired in two stages with the kit:
•In the first stage, the tire will be reinflatedwith a sealing compound and air. Afterthe tire has been inflated, you will needto drive the vehicle about 3.7 mi (6 km)to distribute the sealant in the tire.
•In the second stage, you will need tocheck the tire pressure and adjust, ifnecessary, to the vehicle's specified tireinflation pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire withSealing Compound and Air
WARNING
Do not stand directly beside the tirewhile the compressor is operating. Thiscould cause personal injury if the tire bursts.
Note:If the tire does not inflate to therecommended tire pressure within 15minutes, stop and call roadside assistance.
WARNINGS
Watch the sidewall of the tire wheninflating. If any cracks, bumps or similardamage appears, switch the compressor offand let the air out by means of the pressurerelief valve. Do not continue driving with thistire. This could cause loss of vehicle control.
