Service Parts Identification Label

This label is on the spare tire cover. It is very helpful if
you ever need to order parts. The label has the
following information:

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

Model designation

Paint information

Production options and special equipment

Do not remove this label from the vehicle.

Electrical System

Add-On Electrical Equipment

Notice: Do not add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless you check with your dealer/retailer
first. Some electrical equipment can damage your
vehicle and the damage would not be covered by
your warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from working as they should.

Add-on equipment can drain your vehicle’s battery, even
if your vehicle is not operating.

Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your vehicle, see Servicing
Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
on page 1-67.

Headlamp Wiring

The headlamp wiring system has four individual fuses.
An electrical overload will cause the lamps to go on
and off, or in some cases to remain off. If this happens,
have the headlamp wiring checked right away.

Windshield Wiper Fuses

The windshield wiper motor is protected by an internal
circuit breaker. If the wiper motor overheats due to
heavy snow, the wipers will stop until the motor cools
and will then restart.

A fuse powers the wiper motor. If the fuse blows,
there is an electrical problem. Be sure to have it fixed.
