Cartridge Fuse

• When installing the power distribution center cover,

it is important to ensure the cover is properly posi-

tioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow

water to get into the power distribution center and

possibly result in an electrical system failure.

• When replacing a blown fuse, it is important 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 are storing your vehicle for more than 21 days, we

recommend that you take the following steps to mini-

mize the drain on your vehicle's battery:

• Disconnect the negative cable from battery.

• Any time 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 adequate system lubrication to minimize the

possibility of compressor damage when the system is

started again.
