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.
