The WARNING and CAUTION describe some general 
precautions that you should observe when servicing a 
vehicle. These general precautions apply to many of the 
service procedures,  and they will not necessarily be 
repeated with each procedure to which they apply.
WARNING! 
• Whenever raising a vehicle for service, be  sure to follow the instructions under 
“Vehicle Lifting Points in Section 0A”.
• When it is necessary to do service work  with the engine running, make sure that 
the parking brake is set fully and the 
transmission is in Neutral (for manual 
transmission vehicles) or Park (for 
automatic transmission vehicles), Keep 
hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away from 
the fan and belts when the engine is 
running.
• When it is necessary to run the engine  indoors, make sure that the exhaust gas is 
forced outdoors.
• Do not perform service work in areas  where combustible materials can come in 
contact with a hot exhaust system. When 
working with toxic or  flammable materials 
(such as gasoline and refrigerant), make 
sure that the area you work in is well-
ventilated.
• To avoid getting burned, keep away from  hot metal parts such as the radiator, 
exhaust manifold, tail  pipe, muffler, etc.
• New and used engine oil can be  hazardous. Children and pets may be 
harmed by swallowing new or used oil. 
Keep new and used oil and used engine oil 
filters away from children and pets.
Continuous contact with used engine oil 
has been found to cause [skin] cancer in 
laboratory animals. Brief contact with used 
oil may irritate skin.  To minimize your 
exposure to used engine oil, wear a long-
sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves 
(such as dish washing gloves) when 
changing engine oil. If engine oil contacts 
your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and 
water. Launder any clothing or rags if wet 
with oil, recycle or properly dispose of 
used oil and filters. • Be sure to observe following instructions 
when handling service materials such as 
fuel, oil, fluid, coolant, grease, sealant, 
thread lock cement, etc. Otherwise, your 
health may be ruined.
– Whenever handling any of these service materials, wear safety glasses to protect 
your eyes. If it gets into your eye, it may 
cause inflammation.
– Whenever handling any of these service  materials, wear moistu re-proof gloves to 
protect your skin. If it adheres to your 
skin, it may cause inflammation.
– Do not swallow any of these service  materials. It would cause diarrhea or 
nausea.
– Keep all these materials out of children’s  reach.
• Make sure the bonnet is fully closed and  latched before driving. If  it is not, it can fly 
up unexpectedly during driving, 
obstructing your view and resulting in an 
accident.
 
• Before starting any service work, cover fenders, seats  and any other parts that are likely to get scratched or 
stained during servicing. Also, be aware that what you 
wear (e.g., buttons) ma y cause damage to the 
vehicle’s finish.
