MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Cavity M35 M36 M37 M38 Cartridge Fuse Mini Fuse 15 Amp Blue 20 Amp Yellow 10 Amp Red 25 Amp Natural Description LH Front & Rear Parklamps Power Outlet ABS/ESP Module/Stoplamp Switch Sensor All Door Lock &Unlock CAUTION! • When installing the integrated power module cover, it is important to ensure the cover is properly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow water to get into the integrated power module and possibly result in a 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. TIRE PRESSURES • Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. • The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the "Tire and Loading Information" label located on the driver's side door opening. NOTE: Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for more information regarding tire warnings and instructions. WARNING! • Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them. • Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component separation, or "blow out". Over-inflation reduces a tire's ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control. 99
