the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal located on or near the
engine. This decal identifies engine displacement and gives some tune up

Please consult your “Warranty Guide” for complete emission warranty
information.
Readiness for inspection/maintenance (I/M) testing
In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass an I/M test of
the on-board diagnostic (OBD-II) system. If your “check engine/service
engine soon” light is on, reference the applicable light description in the
Warning Lights and Chimes
section of your owners guide. Your vehicle
may not pass the I/M test with the “check engine/service engine soon”
light on.
If the vehicle’s powertrain system or its battery has just been serviced,
the OBD-II system is reset to a “not ready for I/M test” condition. To
ready the OBD-II system for I/M testing, a minimum of 30 minutes of city
and highway driving is necessary as described below:
•
First, at least 10 minutes of driving on an expressway or highway.
•
Next, at least 20 minutes driving in stop and go, city type traffic with
at least four idle periods.
Allow the vehicle to sit for at least eight hours without starting the
engine. Then, start the engine and complete the above driving cycle. The
engine must warm up to its normal operating temperature. Once started,
do not turn off the engine until the above driving cycle is complete.
EXTERIOR BULBS
Replacing headlamp bulbs
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully and keep out of
children’s reach. Grasp the bulb only by its plastic base and do
not touch the glass. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to
break the next time the headlamps are operated.
To remove the headlamp bulb:
1. Make sure headlamp switch is in OFF position.
2. Lift the hood and remove the plastic sight shield covering the back of
the headlamps by lifting up on the rear corners to release the velcro
attachments. Lift the shield and pull towards the windshield.
