& WARNING (continued )
• The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially
hazardous area. Never reach into the area around or touch the
radiator fan. 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 automatically 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 neces-
sary to work underneath the vehicle. The jack supplied with the
vehicle is not adequate for this purpose and could collapse
causing serious personal injury.
• If you must work underneath the vehicle with the wheels on
the ground, always make sure the vehicle is on level ground, that
the wheels are always securely blocked and that the engine
cannot be started .
• Always make sure the transmission selector lever (automatic
transmission ) is in "P" (Park position ) (automatic transmission ) or
Neutral (manual transmission) and the hand brake is firmly
applied .
