WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one that has
the specified amperage rating. Using a
fuse with a higher amperage rating can
cause severe wire damage and could
start a fire.
5. Replace the cover.
Even after you replace a fuse, it may continue to
blow if you do not find what caused the overload.
If the fuse continues to blow, have your electrical
system checked.
Changing a Tire
If you get a flat tire while you are driving, do not
apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually decrease
the speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly and
slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.
Park on a level spot, turn off the ignition, set the
parking brake, and turn on the hazard flashers.
The Temporary Spare Tire
You may have a high pressure temporary spare tire.
This spare tire is smaller than a regular tire and is
designed for emergency use only. Use it only when
you get a flat tire and replace it as soon as you can.
This spare tire is marked with the words
“TEMPORARY USE ONLY” so that you can easily
identify it.
NOTE: Extended use of other than conventional
spare tires on a Traction-Lok rear axle could result
in a permanent reduction in effectiveness. This loss
of effectiveness does not affect normal driving and
should not be noticeable to the driver.
WARNING
If you use the temporary spare tire
continuously or do not follow these
precautions, the tire could fail, causing
you to lose control of the vehicle,
possibly injuring yourself or others.
