WARNING
Do not start your vehicle in a closed
garage or in other enclosed areas. Exhaust
fumes can be toxic. Always open the
garage door before you start the engine.

Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes
Carbon monoxide, although colorless and
odorless, is present in exhaust fumes. Take
precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.
R
WARNING
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your dealer inspect your
vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you
smell exhaust fumes.
If your vehicle has rear windows and doors that
were installed as part of a van conversion, close
them while it is running. This prevents exhaust
fumes from being drawn into the passenger
compartment.
Have the exhaust and body ventilation systems
checked whenever:
❑
your vehicle is raised for service
❑
the sound of the exhaust system changes
❑
your vehicle has been damaged in a collision
Improve your ventilation by keeping all air inlet
vents clear of snow, leaves, and other debris.
If the engine is idling while you are stopped in
an open area for long periods of time, open the
windows at least one inch (2.5 cm). Also, adjust
the heating or air conditioning system to bring
in outside air.
❑
HEATING — Set fan speed at MEDIUM or
HIGH, the function selector knob on VENT,
FLOOR, MIX, or the DEFROST symbol and
the temperature control knob on any desired
position.
161
❑
AIR CONDITIONING — Set the fan speed
knob at MEDIUM or HIGH, the function
selector knob on NORM A/C or MAX A/C
and the temperature control knob on any
desired position.
Removing the Key From the
Ignition
1.
Put the gearshift in P (Park).
2.
Set the parking brake fully before removing
your foot from the service brake. (This will
avoid “binding” or “loading” the park gear
if you park on a grade.)
3.
Turn the ignition key to LOCK.
4.
Remove the key.
R
WARNING
Always set the parking brake fully and
make sure the gearshift is latched in P

or pets unattended in your vehicle.

Brakes
Front Disc Brakes
The front disc brakes are self-adjusting. They do
not require service other than periodic inspection
for pad wear.
Rear Drum Brakes
The rear drum brakes are self-adjusting.
Automatic adjustment occurs when the brakes
are applied while “backing up.” If normal
operation does not include much backing, adjust
the brakes when they seem “low,” using the
procedure under
If Brakes Do Not Grip Well or
Pedal is “Low”
in this chapter.
Hydraulic Power Brakes
The hydraulic brake system is made up of two
independent hydraulic circuits. One hydraulic
circuit supplies fluid to the front disc brakes and
the other hydraulic circuit supplies fluid to the
rear drum brakes. These two circuits are
supplied by a common hydraulic brake fluid
reservoir, with a fluid level sensor.
The brake light in the instrument cluster will
light for low brake fluid in the common brake
fluid reservoir.
R
WARNING
An increase in pedal travel will result in
reduced braking capability. The brake
system should be checked immediately.
