System Characteristics
[CF06600( BC )12/95]
The Semi Automatic Temperature Control
System (SATC) is designed to provide comfort
consistent with the temperature setting you
select. The discharge air temperature and fan
speed will be automatically controlled to bring
the vehicle to the desired set temperature, as fast
as possible, and then gradually be changed to
maintain that temperature. The system also gives
you the capability of manually adjusting the
location of the discharge air and fan speed for
desired comfort or specific operating
requirements.

Using the hitch
*
[GF19500(MBC )12/95]
Your vehicle uses aload carryinghitch. Because
this type of hitch places the tongue load of a
trailer on the rear wheels of your vehicle, you
must distribute the load in your trailer so that
only 10 to 15% of the total weight of the trailer
is on the tongue.
*
[GF20000( ALL)05/96]
Tie down the load so that it does not shift and
change the weight on the hitch. This will
prevent damage to your vehicle and make your
vehicle easier to handle.

Connecting the safety chains
*
[GF21100( ALL)05/96]
Always attach the trailer's safety chains to your
vehicle. They help protect your trailer if the
hitch breaks.
*
[GF21200( ALL)05/96]
To connect the trailer's safety chains:
*
[GF21300( ALL)05/96]
1. Cross the chains under the trailer tongue
and attach them to your vehicle's frame or
hook retainers. Never attach the safety
chains to your vehicle's bumper. The bumper
is not designed to bear the weight of a
trailer.
*
[GF21400( ALL)05/96]
2. Make sure that you leave enough slack in
the chains to allow you to turn corners.
*
[GF21500( ALL)05/96]
If you use a rental trailer, follow the instructions
that the rental agency gives you.

Preparing to Change the Tire
*
[ER12900( BCGV)03/96]
1. Make sure that your vehicle will not move
or roll. Put the gearshift in P (Park). Set the
parking brake and block the wheel that is
diagonally opposite the tire that you are
changing.
*
[ER13100( BCGV)03/96]
When one of the back wheels is off the ground,
the transmission alone will not prevent the
vehicle from moving or slipping off the jack,
even if the vehicle is in P (Park). To prevent the
vehicle from moving when you change a tire, be
sure the parking brake is set, then block the
wheel (both directions) that is diagonally
opposite (other side and end of the vehicle) to
the tire being changed.
*
[ER13200( ALL)03/96]
RWARNING
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else could be seriously injured.
*
[ER13600( ALL)05/96]
RWARNING
To avoid injury, never run the engine
with one wheel off the ground, such as
when changing a tire.
