WARNING
■Do not perform maintenance work if you lack sufficient knowledge and
experience or the proper tools an d equipment to do the work. Have
maintenance work done by a qualified technician
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle is dangerous if not done prop-
erly. You can be seriously injured while performing some maintenance pro-
cedures.
■ If you must run the engine while working under the hood, make certain
that you remove all jewelry (especially rings, bracelets, watches, and
necklaces) and all neckties, scarves, and similar loose clothing before
getting near the engine or coolin g fan which may turn on unexpectedly
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.

before attempting to work near the cooling fan
Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
■ Do not leave items in th e engine compartment
After you have finished checking or doing servicing in the engine compart-
ment, do not forget and leave items such as tools or rags in the engine com-
partment.
Tools or other items left in the engine compartment could cause engine
