FUEL PUMP SHUTOFF SWITCH

This switch stops the flow of fuel to the engine after a collision. The impact does not have to be great to trigger the switch. To reset, press the white reset button on the switch located on the floorboard, to the left and above where the steering column passes through the floorboard.

CHECKING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID

When checking the ATF always have the 4WD gear selector in any position other than neutral.

FUEL CONDITIONER (DIESEL ENGINES)

Allowing water to remain in the fuel conditioner could result in extensive damage to or failure of the fuel injection system. Diesel fuel can damage asphalt and other surfaces. Always place a drain pan under the fuel conditioner to collect the fuel and dispose of properly.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM

On models with anti-lock brake systems, ALWAYS observe the following cautions

  1. DO NOT attempt to bleed or add hydraulic fluid to system without first referring to the «ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM»(ref-44001) article in the BRAKES Section.
  2. Use ONLY recommended brake fluids. DO NOT use silicone brake fluids in ABS-equipped vehicles.
  3. DO NOT mix tire sizes. As long as tires remain close to the original diameter, increasing the width is acceptable. Rolling diameter must be identical on all 4 tires.
