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
in the wiring itself. This
greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.
Some fuses are in a fuse
block on the passenger side
of the instrument panel.
Pull off the cover labeled
FUSES to expose the fuses.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
Additional fuses are in the underhood electrical centers
on the right and left sides of the engine compartment.
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.

Introduction
Your Vehicle and the Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep your
vehicle in
good working condition, but also helps the
environment. All recommended maintenance procedures are important. Improper vehicle maintenance or the
removal of important components can significantly
affect the quality
of the air we breathe. Improper fluid
levels or even the wrong tire inflation can increase the level of emissions from your vehicle.
To help protect our
environment, and to help keep
your vehicle in good
condition, please maintain your vehicle properly.
