1.
Fuel the Vehicle
Fuel this vehicle using only unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of
91 or higher
. 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 clear protective tape on the rear doors.
3.
Install the Fuses
To lower 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 center console cup holder or coin tray. Make sure you install
them where they belong.
Vehicle Interior
4.
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.
Remove the protective covering on the steering wheel 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.
