| Read the
car owner's manual before attempting to repair your car. Keep the
manual in the glove compartment. |
|
Read the
entire procedure before beginning and familiarize yourself with the
safety precautions. Use the correct tools, do not use makeshift
tools. |
|
Keep a fire
extinguisher and a first-aid kit nearby |
|
|
|
Do not use
heaters for an open flame. If a heater is required, use an electric
heather and position it away from the car. |
|
Allow the
car to cool down before working under the car. Allow approximately
90 minutes before opening the radiator cap. |
|
Do not work
under a car supported only by an emergency jack, cement blocks, or
a makeshift stand. Use ramps if necessary. Chock the
wheels. |
|
|
| Work in a ventilated
area. Do not run the engine in a closed garage. |
| Do not wear loose
clothing or hanging jewelry. If you have long hair, tie it
back. |
| Catch draining fluids
in a basin and discard them properly. Wipe up spills
immediately. |
| When jump-starting a
car, wear protective goggles and gloves to prevent sulfuric acid
burn. Do not smoke. |
| When making an
emergency repair on the roadside, disconnect the negative battery
cable. The fan can turn on even after the engine is turned
off. |
