Inspecting and Changing Fuses

1. Set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF

(LOCK). Turn headlights and all accessories

2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Check the large fuse in the engine

compartment.

u

If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-head
screwdriver to remove the screw and

compartment and the vehicle interior.

u

If there is a burned out fuse, remove it
with the fuse puller and replace it with a
new one.

Inspecting and Changing Fuses

NOTICE

Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating
greatly increases the chances of damaging the
electrical system.

Replace fuse with a spare fuse of the same specified
amperage.
Confirm the specified amperage using the charts on
P. to 354.

There is a fuse puller on the back of the engine
compartment fuse box cover.

Emergency Towing

Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.

■

Flat bed equipment

The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
This is the best way to transport your vehicle.

■

Wheel lift equipment

The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires and lift them off
the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way to
tow your vehicle.

1

Emergency Towing

NOTICE

Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will
cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed
to support the vehicle’s weight.

NOTICE

Improper towing such as towing behind a
motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the
transmission.

Never tow your vehicle with just a rope or chain.
It is very dangerous since ropes or chains may shift
from side to side or break.

Emissions Testing

Testing of Readiness Codes

Your vehicle uses “readiness codes,” as part of its onboard self diagnostic system.
Some states refer to these codes during testing 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, set the power mode to ON, without starting the engine. The
malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it then 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 ready,
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

(

P. 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.

1

Testing of Readiness Codes

The readiness codes are erased when the 12 volt
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.

If the testing facility determines the readiness codes
are still not set, see a dealer.

D. Do not use cruise control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 seconds without

moving the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; this is okay.) If you
cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of traffic conditions, drive for
at least 30 seconds, then repeat it 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.
