Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information Label tells
you the proper size, speed rating and
recommended tire inflation pressure for
the tires on your vehicle. This label is
located on the driver-side doorjamb.
Overinflated tires produce a harsh ride,
while underinflated tires reduce fuel
economy and affect vehicle handling.
Both underinflated and overinflated tires
promote tire wear.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Jump Starting Your Vehicle
The battery is located in the spare tire
well under the load floor in the trunk.
Should it be necessary to jump start
your vehicle, either the battery or the
remote positive terminal in the engine
compartment can be used. This unique
feature allows you to jump start the vehi-
cle from either the front or the rear of
the vehicle. The negative cable can be
connected to a heavy, unpainted metal
part of the vehicle or, if equipped, to a
negative terminal on the battery. See
your Owner Manual for instructions on
how to properly and safely jump start
your ION.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Removing and Securing the
Fuel Cap
To remove the fuel cap, turn the cap
counterclockwise about 1/4 of a turn.
To reinstall the fuel cap after filling your
tank, turn the fuel cap to the right (clock-
wise) until you hear at least three clicks.
The vehicle diagnostic system can
determine if the cap has been left off or
improperly installed. This would allow
fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere
and may cause the malfunction indicator
lamp to illuminate.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Interior Airflow
Your Saturn continuously supplies fresh
air to the passenger compartment, even
when the fan is turned off. When the
outside temperature is cool, this airflow
may not be desirable.
Options to changing the airflow include:
1. Redirecting the airflow.
2. Changing the air temperature using
the rotary control knob.
3.
Turning on the Recirculate button
