WARNING

Running the Engine:

S

Working under the hood with the
engine running is dangerous. It
becomes even more dangerous
when you wear jewelry or loose
clothing. Either can become
entangled in moving parts and
result in injury. Therefore, if
you must run the engine while
working under the hood, make
certain that you remove all jew-
elry (especially rings, bracelets,
watches, and necklaces) and all
neckties, scarves, and similar
loose clothing before getting
near the engine or cooling fan.

(Continued)

S

Set the parking brake fully, and
make sure that the gearshift is
securely latched in P (Park)
(automatic transmission) or N
and block the wheels. This will
prevent your vehicle from mov-
ing  unexpectedly.

S

Do not start your engine with the
air cleaner removed and do not
remove it while the engine is
running.
