Precautions When Servicing Your
Vehicle

Be especially careful when inspecting or servicing
your vehicle. Here are some general precautions for
your safety:

Do not work on a hot engine. The engine
cooling fan may come on unexpectedly. Always
turn the engine off and let it cool.

WARNING

The cooling fan is automatic and may
come on at any time. Always disconnect
the negative terminal of the battery
before working near the fan.

If you must work with the engine running,
avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry that
could get caught in moving parts. Take
appropriate precautions with long hair.

Do not work on a vehicle in an enclosed space
with the engine running, unless you are sure
you have enough ventilation.

Never get under a vehicle while it is supported
by a jack only. If you must work under a
vehicle, use safety stands.

Keep all lit cigarettes and other smoking
materials away from the battery and all
fuel-related parts.

If you disconnect the battery, the engine must
“relearn” its idle conditions before your vehicle will
drive properly. To find out how the engine does
this, see

Battery

in this chapter.

Working with the engine off:

1. Set the parking brake fully and make sure that

the gearshift is securely latched in P (Park).

2. Remove the key from the ignition after you

turn the engine off.
