CAUTION!

When installing the Totally 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 Totally
Integrated Power Module, and possibly result in
an 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 over-
load. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it
indicates a problem in the circuit that must be
corrected.

VEHICLE STORAGE

If you will not be using your vehicle for more than
21 days, you may want to take steps to preserve your
battery.

• Disengage the mini-fuse in the Power Distribution

Center labeled IOD (Ignition Off-Draw).

• Or disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
• Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of

service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the
air conditioning system at idle for about five minutes
in the fresh air and high blower setting. This will
ensure adequate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the system is
started again.
