INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
You should take extreme care when
working on your vehicle to prevent
accidental injury. Here are a few pre-
cautions that you should be especial-
ly careful to observe:
* Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.
* When the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, tools, and other
objects away from the moving fan
and fan belt.
* When it is necessary to do service
work with the engine running,
make sure that the parking brake
is set fully and the transmission
is in Neutral (for manual transmis-
sion vehicles) or Park (for auto-
matic transmission vehicles).
* Do not touch ignition wires or
other ignition system parts when
starting the engine or when the
engine is running, or you could

* Be careful not to touch hot exhaust
components such as the manifold,
pipes, and mufflers.
* Do not allow smoking, sparks, or
flams around gasoline or the bat-
tery. Flammable fumes are present.
* Do not get under your vehicle if it
is supported only with the portable
jack provided in your vehicle.
* Be careful not to cause accidental
short circuits between the positive
and negative battery terminals.
* Keep used oil, engine coolant, and
other fluids away from children and
pets. Dispose of used fluids proper-
ly; never pour them on the ground,
into sewers, etc.
