Tires

Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven

wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or

other objects lodged in the tread or sidewall.

Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks. Inspect

sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges. Check the

lug nuts/bolt torque for tightness. Check the tires

(including spare) for proper cold inflation pressure.

Lights

Have someone observe the operation of brake

lights and exterior lights while you work the

controls. Check turn signal and high beam

indicator lights on the instrument panel.

Door Latches

Check for proper closing, latching, and locking.

Fluid Leaks

Check area under the vehicle after overnight

parking for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks.

Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel or

brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should

be located and corrected immediately.



ONLY use the driver’s side floor mat on the

driver’s side floor area. To check for interfer

ence, with the vehicle properly parked with the

engine off, fully depress the accelerator, the

brake, and the clutch pedal (if present) to

check for interference. If your floor mat inter

feres with the operation of any pedal, or is not

secure to the floor, remove the floor mat from

the vehicle and place the floor mat in your

trunk.



ONLY use the passenger’s side floor mat on

the passenger’s side floor area.

XHAUST

The best protection against carbon monoxide entry

into the vehicle body is a properly maintained

engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the

exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can be

detected inside the vehicle, or when the underside

or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have an

authorized dealer inspect the complete exhaust

system and adjacent body areas for broken,

damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.

Open seams or loose connections could permit

exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger

compartment. In addition, inspect the exhaust

system each time the vehicle is raised for

lubrication or oil change. Replace as required.

ARBON

ONOXIDE

ARNINGS

WARNING!

Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain

carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and

odorless. Breathing it can make you

unconscious and can eventually poison you.

To avoid breathing (CO), follow these safety tips:



Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in

confined areas any longer than needed to

move your vehicle in or out of the area.



If you are required to drive with the trunk/lift

gate/rear doors open, make sure that all

windows are closed and the climate control

BLOWER switch is set at high speed.

DO NOT use the recirculation mode.



If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with

the engine running, adjust your heating or

cooling controls to force outside air into the

vehicle. Set the blower at high speed.

WARNING!

Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is

deadly. Follow the precautions below to prevent

carbon monoxide poisoning:



Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain

carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless

gas, which can kill. Never run the engine in a

closed area, such as a garage, and never sit in

a parked vehicle with the engine running for

an extended period. If the vehicle is stopped in

an open area with the engine running for more

than a short period, adjust the ventilation

system to force fresh, outside air into the

vehicle.



Guard against carbon monoxide with proper

maintenance. Have the exhaust system

inspected every time the vehicle is raised.

Have any abnormal conditions repaired

promptly. Until repaired, drive with all side

windows fully open.

jumper cable from the negative (-) post of the

booster battery.

3. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper

cable from the positive (+) post of the booster

battery.

4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+)

jumper cable from the remote positive (+) post

of the discharged vehicle.

5. Reinstall the protective cover over the remote

positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.

If frequent jump starting is required to start your

vehicle have the battery and charging system

tested at an authorized dealer.

WARNING!

Failure to follow this jump starting procedure

could result in personal injury or property

damage due to battery explosion.

CAUTION!

Failure to follow these procedures could result in

damage to the charging system of the booster

vehicle or the discharged vehicle.

WARNING!

Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative

(-) post of the discharged battery. The resulting

electrical spark could cause the battery to

explode and could result in personal injury.

CAUTION!

Do not run the booster vehicle engine above

2,000 RPM since it provides no charging benefit,

wastes fuel, and can damage booster vehicle

engine.

CAUTION!

Accessories plugged into the vehicle power

outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery,

even when not in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.).

Eventually, if plugged in long enough without

engine operation, the vehicle’s battery will

discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life

and/or prevent the engine from starting.
