A
replaceable
fuse link is located
at
the
battery pickup junction
block
behind
the
right
access
door.
If
an
overload
should
occur,
this link is designed to fail (open
circuit)
preventing
damage
to
the
main
wiring harness.
Another link of the
same
wire gauge and
length must be installed
in
its place
in
the
event of
failures.
IMPORTANT:
When
replacing
fuse
or
circuit
breaker,
make
sure
replacement is of
same number as
marked
on
block.
TURN SIGNAL HAZARD
WARNING FLASHER
The turn
signals and
the hazard warning
system
both
operate
with the
same
flasher.
This
flasher
is
clipped
behind
the
dashboard just to the right
of
the
steering
column.
WHEELS AND TIRES
TIRES
The
factory
installed
tires
on
your
vehicle
are
designed
to provide the
best
all-around
performance
for normal vehicle
operation.
When
inflated
as
recommended
on
the
"Tire
Pressure Placard," located on
the
glove
compartment
door
of
your
vehicle
,
the
tires
have
the
load carrying
capacity
to
operate
satisfactorily
at
all
normal highway
speeds.
Tire
Care
Tires
should
be
checked
regularly
for
proper
inflation pressure, wear, and
damage.
The following
information will
assist
you in
properly caring for your
tires.
Inflation Pressure
Tire
inflation
pressures listed
on
the tire
placard have been selected
to provide the
best
tire
life,
riding
comfort and
handling
stability for normal driving conditions.

Tire Pressure Placard
The
use
of
improper
tire
inflation
pressures
can
adversely affect tire life
and
vehicle performance. Too little
air
pressure
can
result in
excessive
tire heat, abnormal
tire
wear,
adverse
vehicle
handling
and
reduced
fuel
economy.
Too
much
air
pressure
can
result in
abnormal
tire
wear,
adverse
vehicle
ride
and
handling,
and
increased
susceptibility
to dam
age by
road
impacts.
Tire pressures
should
be
checked
at least
once
a
month (and preferably more
often) or
before long trips
or
when heavily loaded.
The following
points
should
be observed
when
checking and setting
tire pressures.
1.
Cold
tire
pressure
ratings
are
applicable
when
a
vehicle
has
been
inoperative for
3
hours,
or
more
,
or
driven
less than
one
mile.
2.
Tire inflation pressure
may
increase
as
much as
6
psi when hot
(after
vehicle has
been driven 10 miles
or at speeds of
more
than
60
MPH). Do not
"
bleed"
or
reduce
pressures when tires
are
hot from driving.
3. For continuous
high
speed
(over
65
MPH),
increase
tire
pressure to
70
psi.
