Vehicle Jacking
Warning: Make sure that no persons are in the vehicle before
jacking commences.
Warning: Make sure that the park brake is ON and that the
vehicle transmission is in Park (P).
Warning: Make sure that the vehicle is parked on firm and
level ground to give a secure base for the jack.
Do not raize the vehicle by placing a vehicle jack under the
suspension arms.
If this vehicle is to be raized using a vehicle jack make sure that the

Servicing Precautions
To avoid personal injury, the following safety precautions must be
observed when the hood is open and the engine is operating or the
ignition is ON.
Warning: Protect yourself against dangerous substances
(Refer to ’Dangerous Substances’, page 11.4).
Warning: Keep hands, hair, tools, items of clothing and
jewellery clear of all drive belts, pulleys and operating
mechanisms. The cooling fans may operate even though the
engine is not operating.
Warning: Avoid skin contact with all exhaust system and
engine components, engine fluids and escaping steam. They may
be hot and will burn you.
Warning: Do not breathe exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes
contain carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas,
which is colourless and odourless and can cause
unconsciousness and may be fatal. Never start or leave the
engine running in an enclosed, unventilated area.
Warning: Do not work beneath the vehicle with a vehicle
lifting jack as the only support. Place suitable stands under the
vehicle.

let anyone inside the vehicle unless specifically working to your
instructions.
Warning: Whenever possible work in the engine
compartment with the engine cool, the ignition OFF and the

spaces, is also explosive and toxic. In the event of spillage, set
the engine to OFF, use no naked flame or light. Do not smoke.
Do not inhale fumes.
Dangerous Substances
Warning: Dangerous substances should be kept out of reach
of children.
Warning: Many liquids and other substances used in motor
vehicles are poisonous and should under no circumstances be
consumed and should, so far as possible, be kept from contact
with the skin. These substances include battery electrolyte,
antifreeze, oil, brake and clutch fluid, gasoline, windscreen
washer additives, lubricants, refrigerant and various adhesives.
Warning: Particular care should be taken to avoid
unnecessary contact with used engine oil. Always read carefully
the instructions printed on labels or stamped on components
and follow them carefully. Such instructions are included for
reasons of your health and personal safety. Never disregard
them.
Engine Oils
Warning: Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine
oils can cause serious skin disorders, including dermatitis and
cancer. Avoid excessive contact, wash thoroughly after contact.
Keep out of reach of children. When your oil is changed, be sure
that it is done by an experienced person. In addition, observe all
laws regarding the disposal of waste oil and toxic fluids.
Protect The Environment
Warning: It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses, or soil.
Use authorized waste disposal facilities, including civic amenity
