  WARNING 
Vehicle health reports do not replace the information provided 
by the vehicle warning and indicator lights. Failure to heed 
warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can cause 
the vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a collision and 
serious personal injury. 
  Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS. 
  Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. 
  Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic and 
where no part of the hot catalytic converter and exhaust system 
can come into contact with flammable materials under the vehi-
cle, such as dry grass, brush, spilled fuel, etc. 
  A broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself 
and others. Switch on emergency flashers and set up a warning 
triangle to warn oncoming traffic. 
  Before opening the engine hood, always switch off the en-
gine and let the engine cool down. 
  Always be very careful when working in the engine compart-
ment, which is a potentially dangerous area in any motor vehi-
cle and can cause serious personal injury.
