All-Wheel Drive After installing a compact spare tire on a vehicle with all-wheel drive you will need to drive with light to moderate acceleration, for 10 seconds, in a straight line. This action will allow the vehicle to detect the compact spare tire and disable the all-wheel drive system. The AWD DISABLE message will come on the instrument panel cluster indicating that the all-wheel drive system is off. You may detect a slight pull during this time, but this is normal. Notice: You may damage your vehicle's all-wheel drive system if your vehicle is driven for an extended period with a compact spare tire installed and the all-wheel drive system in operation. See "All-Wheel Drive System" and "AWD Disable Warning Message" in the Index for more information. Appearance Care Remember, cleaning products can be hazardous. Some are toxic. Others can burst into flames if you strike a match or get them on a hot part of the vehicle. Some are dangerous if you breathe their fumes in a closed space. When you use anything from a container to clean your vehicle, be sure to follow the manufacturer's warnings and instructions. And always open your doors or windows when you are cleaning the inside. Never use these to clean your vehicle: Gasoline Benzene Naphtha Carbon Tetrachloride Acetone Paint Thinner Turpentine Lacquer Thinner Nail Polish Remover They can all be hazardous - some more than others - and they can all damage your vehicle, too. 5-97
