accessories, repairs, and modifications
Unintended vehicle movement during maintenance work can
cause serious personal injuries.
Never work under the vehicle unless you have safely secured
the vehicle from moving. If you must work under the vehicle
with the wheels on the ground, always make sure that the
vehicle is on level ground, that all 4 wheels are chocked to
keep them from moving, and that the key is not in the ignition.
If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, always
make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety
stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle. The jack supplied with the
vehicle is not strong enough for this purpose and can collapse
causing serious personal injury.
WARNING
The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially
dangerous area and can cause serious personal injury.
Always use extreme caution when doing any work in the
engine compartment. Always follow commonly accepted safety
