Precautions When Working With the Parts Mounted on the Vehicle

1 When working under a vehicle which is jacked-up, always be sure to use safety stands.
2 The parking brake must always be applied during working. Also, in automatic transmission vehicles, keep the select lever set to the P (Parking) range.
3 Be sure the workshop is properly ventilated when running the engine. Further, be careful not to touch the belt or tan while the engine is operating.
4 Be careful not to touch hot metal parts, especially the radiator and exhaust system immediately after the engine has been shut off.
