• The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially
hazardous area . Never reach into th e area around or touch the
radiator fa n. It is temperature controlled and can switch on
suddenly - even when the engine is off and the ignition key has
been removed. The radiator fan switches on autom atically when
the coolant reaches a certain temperature and will continue to run
until the coolant tempe rature drops.
• Always remove the ignition key before anyone gets under the
vehicle.
• Always support your vehicle with safety stands if it is necessary
to work unde rneath the vehicle. The jac k supplied with the vehicle
is not adequate for thi s purpose and could collapse causing
serious personal injury.
• If you must work underneath the vehicle w ith the wheels on
the ground , always ma ke sure the vehicle is on level ground , th at
the wheels are always securely blocked and that the engine cannot
be started .
• Always make sure the transmi ssion selector lever (automatic
tran smission) is in "P" (Park position) or Neutral (manual trans -
mission) and the park brake is firmly applied.
