         BATTERY SPECIFICATIONS

CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped with

         computers may lose memory data. When battery power is

         restored, driveability problems may exist on some vehicles.

         These vehicles may require a relearn procedure. See

         COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in the GENERAL

         INFORMATION Section.

         Battery is maintenance-free and does not normally require

additional water. However, under severe conditions it is advisable to

check battery fluid periodically. Use only distilled water to fill

battery cell should it become necessary to add water. Charge condition

can be checked by a visual test indicator on top of battery.

         CAUTIONS & WARNINGS

         SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) AIR BAG SYSTEM

NOTE:    See the AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in the

         ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT Section.

         The SRS has no user-servicable parts. Always have servicing

done by an authorized dealer.

         When performing maintenance on air bag equipped vehicles

always observe proper safety precautions.

WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and

         carefully follow all warnings and service precautions. See

         appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in the

         ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT section.

CAUTION: Disconnect negative battery cable before servicing any air

         bag system, steering column or passenger side dash

         component. After any repair, turn ignition key to the ON

         position from passenger’s side of vehicle in case of

         accidental air bag inflation

         ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)

CAUTION: Never mix different diameter tires. On loose or uneven

         surfaces, the ABS system may require longer stopping

         distances than conventional brake systems. Exercise caution

         when removing mud or snow from the wheels so as not to

         damage the ABS wiring or speed sensors.

         BATTERY WARNING

WARNING: When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped with

         computers may lose memory data. When battery power is

         restored, driveability problems may exist on some vehicles.

         These vehicles may require a relearn procedure. See

         appropriate COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in the

         GENERAL INFORMATION section below.

         REPLACING BLOWN FUSES

         Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off

all lights and accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system. Be

sure to use fuse with the correct indicated amperage rating. The use

of an incorrect amperage rating fuse may result in a dangerous

electrical system overload.

         BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR

         Indicator will cause a squealing or scraping noise, warning

that brake pads need replacement.

         CATALYTIC CONVERTER

         Continued operation of vehicle with a severe malfunction

could cause converter to overheat, resulting in possible damage to

converter and vehicle.

         COOLANT (PROPYLENE-GLYCOL FORMULATIONS)

CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to vehicle use only ethylene-glycol

         based coolants with a mixture ratio from 44-68% anti-freeze.

         DO NOT use 100% anti-freeze as it will cause the formation

         of cooling system deposits. This results in coolant

         temperatures of over 300



 F (149



C) which can melt plastics.

         100% anti-freeze has a freeze point of only -8



 F (-22



C).

CAUTION: Propylene-Glycol Mixtures has a smaller temperature range

         than Ethylene-Glycol. The temperature range (freeze-boil)

         of a 50/50 Anti-Freeze/Water Mix is as follows:

             Propylene-Glycol  -26



 F (-32



C) - 257



 F (125



C)

             Ethylene-Glycol   -35



 F (-37



C) - 263



 F (128



C)

CAUTION: Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol Mixtures can cause the

         destabilization of various corrosion inhibitors. Also

         Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol has a different specific

         gravity than Ethylene-Glycol coolant, which will result in

         inaccurate freeze point calculations.

         ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE (ESD) PARTS

WARNING: Many solid state electrical components can be damaged by

         static electricity (ESD). Some will display a warning label,

         but many will not. Discharge personal static electricity by

         touching a metal ground point on the vehicle prior to

         servicing any ESD sensitive component.

         ENGINE OIL

CAUTION: Never use non-detergent or straight mineral oil.

         FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE

WARNING: Relieve fuel system pressure prior to servicing any fuel

         system component (fuel injection models).

         HALOGEN BULBS

WARNING: Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if

         overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion of bulb with bare

         hands. Eye protection should be worn when handling or working

         around halogen bulbs.

         RADIATOR CAP

CAUTION: Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the

         radiator fan. The fan is temperature controlled and could

         start at any time even when the ignition key is in the OFF

         position. DO NOT loosen or remove radiator cap when cooling

         system is hot.

         RADIATOR FAN

WARNING: Keep hands away from radiator fan. Fan is controlled by a

         thermostatic switch which may come on or run for up to

         15 minutes even after engine is turned off.
