Notes about self-maintenance
■
The self-maintenance must follow the correct steps in this section.
■
It should be noted that incorrect and incomplete maintenance may affect the use of the
car.
■
The section only lists the simpler self-maintenance instructions. However, there are
still many items that must be completed by qualified technicians with special tools.
■
Must be careful to maintain the car to prevent any accidental injury. The following
precautions must be observed:
Tip
●
If the motor is very hot, do not remove or loosen the auxiliary tank cover to prevent
burns.
●
Do not smoke inside or near the car to avoid sparks or open flames, resulting in a
fire.
●
Must be careful to handle the battery. The battery contains toxic and corrosive
sulfuric acid.
●
When the car is only supported with the jacks, any person cannot access the bottom
of the car. Must support the car with vehicle racks or other solid supports.
●
Must wear the goggles when working in or under the car to prevent objects or liquids
from falling into eyes.
●
Because the brake fluid can damage the skin or eyes, must be careful when adding
the brake fluid. If the brake fluid splashes on your skin or eyes, must rinse the area
splashed by the liquid with clean water. If your hands or eyes are not comfort after
rinsing, must seek a medical service immediately.
Note

Muse prevent some parts and circuits under high current or high voltage from short
circuit.

If the brake fluid spills, must rinse it with water to prevent damage to any part or
painted surface.
