Doing Your Own Service Work
{
CAUTION:
You can be injured and your vehicle could be
damaged if you try to do service work on a
vehicle without knowing enough about it.
•
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, the proper replacement parts,
and tools before you attempt any vehicle
maintenance task.
•
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts,
and other fasteners. English and metric
fasteners can be easily confused. If you
use the wrong fasteners, parts can later
break or fall off. You could be hurt.
If you want to do some of your own service work,
you will want to use the proper service manual. It tells
you much more about how to service your vehicle
than this manual can. To order the proper service
manual, see
Service Publications Ordering Information
on page 7-16 .
Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before attempting
to do your own service work, see
Servicing Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on page 1-67 .
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and
list the mileage and the date of any service work
you perform. See
Maintenance Record on page 6-17 .
