HALOGEN BULBS
Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if
overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion of bulb with bare hands. Eye
protection should be worn when handling or working around halogen
bulbs.
OIL FILTER
CAUTION: The engine oil filter mount has metric threads. Use of a
filter with improper threads can result in oil leakage and
possible engine damage. Look for M20 x 1.5 symbol on the
filter.
RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the
radiator fan. The fan is temperature controlled and could
start at any time even when the ignition key is in the OFF
position. DO NOT loosen or remove radiator cap when cooling
system is hot.
RADIATOR FAN
Keep hands away from radiator fan. Fan is controlled by a
thermostatic switch which may come on or run for up to 15 minutes even
after engine is turned off.
WHEEL & TIRE WARNINGS
CAUTION: Replacing original tires with different size tires may
result in false speedometer and odometer indications. Check
with dealer before using different size tires on vehicle.
CAUTION: Ensure all 4 wheels on vehicle have same tire size, type
and circumference in order to provide proper vehicle
handling. DO NOT mix radial-ply with bias-ply or
bias-belted tires. On 4WD vehicles, if tire size, type and
circumference on all 4 wheels are not the same, gear
shifting will be adversely affected and can damage transfer
case.
CAUTION: Temporary-use spare tires are for emergency use only. DO
NOT drive vehicle faster than 50 MPH or more than 100 miles
when using spare tire. DO NOT operate vehicle in 4WD mode
when using spare tire, as damage to transfer case can
result. Temporary-use spare tires have a total tread life
of 3,000 miles.
