Be especially careful when inspecting or servicing your vehicle.
Here are some general precautions for your safety:

If you must work with the engine running, avoid wearing
loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in moving
parts. Take appropriate precautions with long hair.

Do not work on a vehicle in an enclosed space with the
engine running, unless you are sure you have enough
ventilation.

■
Keep all lit cigarettes and other smoking materials away
from the battery and all fuel-related parts.

If you disconnect the battery, the engine must “relearn” its idle
conditions before your vehicle will drive properly. To find out
how the engine does this, see Battery in this chapter.
