SERVICE AND VEHICLE CARE 6–3
• If it is necessary to check under the
hood while the engine is running,
take care to avoid unexpected and
sudden movements of your vehicle.
With an automatic transaxle, place
selector lever in PARK or NEUTRAL
and apply parking brake. For a
manual transaxle, place the shift le-
ver in neutral and apply the parking
brake firmly.
• To avoid the possibility of personal
injury, always turn the ignition off
and remove the key before working
under the hood, unless the procedure
specifically requires to do so. If the
procedure requires you to work un-
der the hood while the engine is run-
ning, remove loose clothing and jew-
elry that can become caught in mov-
ing parts and cause personal injury.

WARNING
Touching live parts of your vehicle
when the ignition is ON is highly
dangerous.
• Make sure you turn the ignition
off and remove the key before you
make any engine checks or per-
form other maintenance under the
hood.
It can result in burns, shocks, or
other personal injuries.
To avoid possible injury from the cool-
ing fan, switch off the engine so the fan
is not operating before you perform any
engine checks.
Also, be aware that the electronic igni-
tion system has a higher voltage than
conventional systems. Therefore, it is
highly dangerous to touch live parts
when your vehicle’s ignition is ON.
