NOTE:    All SERVICE SCHEDULES are listed for normal service
         vehicles. If vehicle is operated under severe service
         conditions, see SEVERE SERVICE REQUIREMENTS (PERFORM
         W/SERVICE SCHEDULES) for items requiring additional
         maintenance.

NOTE:    This article contains scheduled maintenance service
         information. Fluid types and capacities listed with each
         service in this article are only those necessary to perform
         that scheduled service. For specifications pertaining to
         fluid capacities for the entire vehicle, fuse and circuit

         CAUTIONS & WARNINGS

         SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (AIR BAG) - 1995 MODELS

NOTE:    See the AIR BAGS article in the ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT
         Section.

         Modifications or improper maintenance, including incorrect
removal and installation of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS),
can adversely affect system performance. DO NOT cover, obstruct or
change the steering wheel horn pad in any way, as such action could
cause improper function of the system. Use only plain water when
cleaning the horn pad. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the
air bag cover and cause improper deployment of the system.

WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and
         carefully follow all warnings and service precautions. See
         appropriate AIR BAGS article in ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT.

CAUTION: Disconnect negative battery cable before servicing any air
         bag system, steering column or passenger side dash
         component. After any repair, turn ignition key to the ON
         position from passenger's side of vehicle in case of
         accidental air bag inflation

NOTE:    For information on air bag DIAGNOSIS & TESTING or DISPOSAL
         PROCEDURES, see AIR BAGS article in the ACCESSORIES/SAFETY
         EQUIPMENT Section.

         System circuit is grounded by 2 screws beneath the driver's
seat. DO NOT use these screws to ground any other accessory. DO NOT
ground any other components near this system.

         AIR CONDITIONING SERVICING (1993 & LATER)

CAUTION: Avoid breathing R-134a refrigerant and PAG lubricant vapors,
         exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.  To remove
         R-134a from system use R-134a recycling equipment that meets
         SAE J2210 specifications. If accidental system discharge
         occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.

WARNING: R-134a service equipment or vehicle A/C systems SHOULD NOT
         be pressure tested or leak tested with compressed air. Some
         mixtures of air/R134a have shown to be combustible at
         elevated pressures. These mixtures are dangerous and may
         cause fire and/or explosions.  See AIR CONDITIONING SERVICE
         article in GENERAL INFORMATION section.

         ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM

         The anti-lock brake system contains electronic equipment that
can be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or
high output radio transmitting equipment. Since this interference
could cause the possible loss of the anti-lock braking capability,
such equipment should be installed by qualified professionals.

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

      *  DO NOT attempt to bleed hydraulic system without first
         referring to the appropriate ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM article
         in the BRAKES Section.
      *  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 for all 4 tires. Some
         manufacturers recommend tires of the same brand, style and
         type. Failure to follow this precaution may cause inaccurate
         wheel speed readings.
      *  Use ONLY recommended brake fluids. DO NOT use silicone brake
         fluids in an ABS-equipped vehicle.

         BATTERY WARNING

WARNING: When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped with
         computers may lose memory data. When battery power is

         REPLACING BLOWN FUSES

         Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off
all lights and accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system. Be
sure to use fuse with the correct indicated amperage rating. The use
of an incorrect amperage rating fuse may result in a dangerous
electrical system overload.

         BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT

WARNING: Use caution when checking and/or changing brake pads, some
         pads may contain asbestos which can irritate eyes and may
         cause other health hazards. A water based solution should be
         used to clean brake dust from wheel and brake components.
         DO NOT use compressed air to blow off brake dust.

         BRAKE SYSTEM

CAUTION: If brake warning light comes on while driving it indicates
         a low fluid level or failure in one of the braking
         circuits. If the brake pedal can be depressed further than
         normal it is an indication that one of the brake circuits
         is not functioning. Stop vehicle and check brake reservoir
         fluid level. If level is below MIN mark, DO NOT drive
         vehicle. Have it towed to a repair shop. If level is
         between the MIN and MAX marks, proceed cautiously to a
         repair shop.

         BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR

         Indicator will cause a squealing or scraping noise, warning
that brake pads need replacement.

         BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE WITH ENGINE NOT RUNNING

CAUTION: Brake pedal requires extreme pressure to stop the vehicle
         when the engine is not running.

         CATALYTIC CONVERTER

         Continued operation of vehicle with a severe malfunction
could cause converter to overheat, resulting in possible damage to
converter and vehicle.
         Any modification to the exhaust system on turbo models, which
reduces exhaust backpressure, will lead to lean fuel mixtures and
excessive spark advance. This could cause serious engine damage.

         inaccurate freeze point calculations.

         ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE (ESD) PARTS

WARNING: Many solid state electrical components can be damaged by
         static electricity (ESD). Some will display a warning label,
         but many will not. Discharge personal static electricity by
         touching a metal ground point on the vehicle prior to
         servicing any ESD sensitive component.

         ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

WARNING: Contact with live components of ignition system while
         engine is running could lead to a fatal electric shock.

         ENGINE OIL

CAUTION: Never use non-detergent or straight mineral oil.

         FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE

WARNING: Relieve fuel system pressure prior to servicing any fuel
         system component (fuel injection models).

         HALOGEN BULBS

         Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if
overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion of bulb with bare hands. Eye
