Battery Recycling
Batteries contain materials that can harm
the environment with improper disposal.
Large 12 Volt storage batteries contain
lead.
Recycling of batteries is the
preferred method of disposal.
Many states require sellers of batteries to
accept old batteries for recycling.
Fuses
1. Main fuse box in engine
compartment
2. Auxiliary fuse box in trunk on rear
wall.
Before replacing a blown fuse,
determine the cause of the short circuit.
Spare fuses are supplied inside the fuse
box. Observe amperage and color of
fuse.
Always use a new fuse for
replacement. Never attempt to repair or
bridge a blown fuse.
After replacing a blown fuse, close
fuse box cover.
