GENERAL INFORMATION

The body electrical system includes all lighting bulbs, signal lamps and headlamps, the windshield wiper and washer system, interior electrical equipment, as well as switches and connecting wires.

The electrical system operates at 12 volts with a negative ground. Power for the electrical system is supplied by a 12-volt battery, which is recharged by the alternator.

The engine electrical system (battery, alternator, starter, ignition system, etc.) is described in Section 7.

WARNING: Before working on the electrical system, read the precautions described below.

Later models are equipped with an airbag. Before working on the electrical system, read the precautions described in subsection 14.19 to avoid possible injury.

Precautions: If the installed radio/stereo has an anti-theft code system (as, for example, a standard radio), check that you know the activation code before disconnecting the battery. Before connecting wires to any electrical component, disconnect the battery negative cable to prevent a possible short circuit and/or fire.
