Preventive Maintenance<br />
• When working underneath the vehicle without<br />
appropriate safety stands but with the wheels on the<br />
ground (not supported), make sure that (1) the vehicle<br />
is on hard level ground, (2) the parking brake is<br />
applied, (3) all wheels are chocked (front and rear)<br />
and (4) the engine cannot be started. Remove the<br />
ignition key.<br />
• Never start or let the engine run in an enclosed,<br />
unventilated area. Exhaust fumes from the engine<br />
contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless<br />
gas. Carbon monoxide can be fatal if inhaled.<br />

Incomplete or improper servicing may cause problems in the<br />
operation of the vehicle. If in doubt about any servicing, have<br />
it done by your Authorized Service Center. Improper maintenance<br />
during the warranty period may also affect the warranty<br />
