[SV01600(ALL)06/95] Precautions When Servicing Your Vehicle
*
[SV01700(ALL)06/95]
Be especially careful when inspecting or servicing your vehicle.
Here are some general precautions for your safety:
*
[SV01900(ALL)06/95]
If you must work with the engine running, avoid wearing
loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in moving
parts. Take appropriate precautions with long hair.
*
[SV02000(ALL)06/95]
Do not work on a vehicle in an enclosed space with the
engine running, unless you are sure you have enough
ventilation.
*
[SV02100(ALL)08/95]
Never get under a vehicle while it is supported only by a
jack. If you must work under a vehicle, use safety stands.
*
[SV02200(ALL)06/95]
Keep all lit cigarettes and other smoking materials away
from the battery and all fuel-related parts.
*
[SV02500(ALL)03/95]
If you disconnect the battery, the engine must “relearn” its idle
conditions before your vehicle will drive properly. To find out
how the engine does this, see Battery in this chapter.
*
[SV02600(ALL)03/95]
Working with the engine off:
*
[SV02660(ALL)03/95] 1. Set the parking brake fully and make sure that the gearshift
is securely latched in P (Park).
*
[SV02675(R )06/95] When the transfer case is in the N (Neutral) position, the
engine and transmission are disconnected from the rest of
the driveline. Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the
automatic transmission is in P (Park) or the manual
transmission is in gear. Do not leave the vehicle unattended
with the transfer case in the N (Neutral) position.
