STORING THE VEHICLE

If the vehicle should remain stationary for more than a
month, observe the following precautions:
 Check that the Electric Park Brake is not engaged.
 Disconnect the negative (-) terminal from the battery
post and be sure that the battery is fully charged.
During storage, check that the battery charge is
adequate.
 If you do not disconnect the battery from the electrical
system, check the battery charge every 30 days.
 Whenever you leave the vehicle stationary for two weeks or
more, idle the engine for approximately five minutes, with
the air conditioning system on and high fan speed. This will
ensure proper lubrication of the system, thus minimizing the
possibility of damage to the compressor when the vehicle is
put back into operation.
CAUTION!
Before removal of the positive and negative terminals to the
battery, wait at least a minute with ignition switch in the OFF
position, remove the key and close the driver's door. When
reconnecting the positive and negative terminals to the
battery be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position and
the driver's door is closed.

INTERIORS

ARPET AFETY NFORMATION
Always use carpet designed to fit your vehicle. Only use
carpet that does not interfere with the operation of the
pedal assemblies. Only operate the vehicle when the
carpet is securely attached by the grommets so it cannot
slip out of position and interfere with the pedal assemblies
or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other ways.
WARNING!
 If operating the vehicle without carpet in place, the
floor may become hot, and there is a risk of burns.
 An improperly attached, damaged, folded, or
damaged grommets may cause your carpet to inter-
fere with the accelerator, brake, or clutch pedals and
cause a loss of vehicle control. To prevent SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH: ALWAYS securely attach your
carpet using the grommets.
 ALWAYS make sure objects cannot fall or slide into
the driver's side floor area when the vehicle is
moving. Objects can become trapped under acceler-
ator, brake, or clutch pedals and could cause a loss
of vehicle control.
