Power distribution box

The power distribution box is located in the engine compartment. The
power distribution box contains high-current fuses that protect your
vehicle’s main electrical systems from overloads.

WARNING: Always disconnect the battery before servicing high
current fuses.

WARNING: To reduce risk of electrical shock, always replace
the cover to the Power Distribution Box before reconnecting the

battery or refilling fluid reservoirs.

If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, refer to the
Battery section of the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

CHANGING THE TIRES

If you get a flat tire while driving:
• do not brake heavily.
• gradually decrease the vehicle’s speed.
• hold the steering wheel firmly.
• slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.
Note: The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicator light will
illuminate when the spare is in use. To restore the full functionality of
the monitoring system, all road wheels equipped with tire pressure
monitoring sensors must be mounted on the vehicle.

Have a flat serviced by an authorized dealer in order to prevent damage
to the TPMS sensor, refer to Changing tires with TPMS in the Tires,
Wheels and Loading chapter. Replace the spare tire with a road tire as
soon as possible.
