Doing Your Own
Service Work
{ CAUTION
You can be injured and the vehicle
could be damaged if you try to do
service work on a vehicle without
knowing enough about it.
• Be sure you have sufficient
knowledge, experience, the
proper replacement parts, and
tools before attempting any
vehicle maintenance task.
• Be sure to use the proper
nuts, bolts, and other
fasteners. English and metric
fasteners can be easily
confused. If the wrong
fasteners are used, parts
can later break or fall off.
You could be hurt.
If doing some of your own service
work, use the proper service
manual. It tells you much more
about how to service the vehicle
than this manual can. To order the
proper service manual, see
Service Publications Ordering

the outside of the vehicle.
