CAUTION! (Continued)
• When replacing a blown fuse, it is impor-
tant to use only a fuse having the correct
amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a
rating other than indicated may result in a
dangerous electrical system overload. If a
properly rated fuse continues to blow, it
indicates a problem in the circuit that must
be corrected.

VEHICLE STORAGE

If you will not be using your vehicle for more
than 21 days, you may want to take steps to
preserve your battery.
• Disengage the mini-fuse in the Power Distri-
bution Center labeled IOD (Ignition Off-
Draw).
• Or disconnect the negative cable from the
battery.
• Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out
of service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or
more, run the air conditioning system at idle
for about five minutes in the fresh air and
high blower setting. This will ensure ad-
equate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the
system is started again.
