1.
Fuel the Vehicle
Make sure the No. 18 BACKUP (10 A) fuse is installed before filling up the fuel tank (see “Install the Fuses”). If you do it
without it installed, the fuel gauge will take much longer than normal to show an accurate reading.
If this happens, and you do not want to wait for the gauge to show the correct level, turn the ignition to OFF and let the
vehicle sit for
10 minutes
. Install the fuses, and turn the ignition to ON. The fuel gauge will then show the correct level.
2.
Remove the Exterior Protective Coatings
Carefully remove all exterior protective coatings. See S/B 03-080,
Removal of Protective Coatings During PDI
. Do not
remove the rear door tape.
3.
Install the Fuses
To prevent battery drain during vehicle shipping, the No. 18 BACKUP (10 A) fuse and the No. 19 AUDIO (15 A) fuse are
removed from the under-hood fuse box and stored in the glove box. Make sure you install them in the proper sockets.

Remove the Interior Protective Coverings
There are several protective coverings on the interior trim pieces and on some areas of the carpet. Carefully remove all
of them. Be sure your hands are clean to avoid soiling any surfaces.
If the vehicle has a leather-wrapped steering wheel, remove the protective covering by pulling the top toward you. Do
not try removing it by pulling the top away and down from you or you will damage the cable reel.
