Maintenance Manuals
If you do decide to do any complex repair
work, you’ll need the maintenance
manuals. Order them from your authorized
dealer. Please provide your Chassis Serial
Number when you order, to be sure you
get the correct manuals for your vehicle.
Allow about four weeks for delivery. There
will be a charge for these manuals.
Final Chassis Bill of Material
A complete, non-illustrated computer
printout listing of the parts used to custom-
build your vehicle is available through the
dealer from whom you purchased your
vehicle.
Components
Do not work on or near the fan with the
engine running. Anyone near the engine
fan when it turns on could be seriously
injured. If it is set at MANUAL, the fan will
turn on any time the ignition key switch is
turned to the ON position. In AUTO, it
could engage suddenly without warning.
Before turning on the ignition or switching
from AUTO to MANUAL, be sure no one is
near the fan.
Cooling System Filler Cap
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator fill cap
while the engine is hot. Scalding
steam and fluid under pressure may
escape. You could be badly burned.
Failure to comply may result in death
or personal injury.
Emergency Equipment
It is good practice to carry an emergency
equipment kit in your vehicle. One day, if
you have a roadside emergency, you will
be glad the following items are with you:
• Window scraper
• Snow brush
• Container or bag of sand or salt
• Emergency light
• Warning triangles
• Small shovel
• First aid kit
• Fire extinguisher
• Vehicle recovery hitches. (See
Towing on page 25 for details).
Fire Extinguisher
Ensure that you are always in possession
of a fire extinguisher It should be well
secured under the seat, within the driver's
reach and easily accessible, also for
rescue workers and others providing
assistance. Have the fire extinguisher
checked for operational readiness each
year. If it has been used, have it refilled at
the earliest opportunity.
In the Event of Fire
In the event of a fire, certain plastic seals
can produce gases which together with
water form a corrosive acid. Do not touch
any fire extinguisher fluid on the vehicle
without protective gloves.
