5-3. Owner Maintenance

WARNING

■Do not perform maintenance work if you lack sufficient knowledge and

experience or the proper tools and equipment to do the work. Have

maintenance work done by a qualified technician

Performing maintenance work on a vehicle is dangerous if not done prop-

erly. You can be seriously injured while performing some maintenance pro-

cedures.

■If you must run the engine while working under the hood, make certain

that you remove all jewelry (especially rings, bracelets, watches, and

necklaces) and all neckties, scarves, and similar loose clothing before

getting near the engine or cooling fan which may turn on unexpectedly

Working under the hood with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes

even more dangerous when you wear jewelry, loose clothing or have long

hair or a long beard.

Either can become entangled in moving parts and result in injury.

■

Switch the ignition to off and make sure the fan is not running

before attempting to work near the cooling fan

Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. The fan could

continue running indefinitely even if the engine has stopped and the engine

compartment temperature is high. You could be hit by the fan and seriously

injured.

■Do not leave items in the engine compartment

After you have finished checking or doing servicing in the engine compart-

ment, do not forget and leave items such as tools or rags in the engine com-

partment.

Tools or other items left in the engine compartment could cause engine

damage or a fire leading to an unexpected accident.
