Engine compartment (with engine stopped)
Any leaks:
Check for signs of fluid puddles, dripping fluid
on the ground under the engine or the
underside of the engine.
HVAC air inlet:
Check for debris, leaves, etc. that may have
collected on the HVAC air inlet grille or inside
the exterior module as this may cause reduced
system performance.
Exercise great caution when working on vehicle equipped with
an automatic fan clutch. The fan starts in motion only after the
engine coolant reaches a predetermined temperature or the refrigerant
pressure (if equipped with air conditioning) reaches a predetermined
setting. The fan will start at this point with no advance warning. Never
reach near, or permit objects to protrude into, the fan blade radius
while the engine is running as this could result in vehicle damage,
personal injury or death.
Engine starting (parking brake applied)
Safety/Emergency
equipment:
Prior to entering the cab, verify that the vehicle
is equipped with spare electrical fuses (if
used), three red reflective triangles, a properly
charged and rated fire extinguisher and wheel
chocks. Walk around the vehicle and check that
all steps and grab handles, inside and out as
well as behind, are tight and clean. Use
extreme caution and a three-point stance at all
times. Check door latches for positive closing,
latching and locking.
