Exercise great caution when working on vehicle equipped with
an automatic fan clutch. The fan starts in motion only after the
engine coolant reaches a predetermined temperature or the refrigerant
pressure (if equipped with air conditioning) reaches a predetermined
setting. The fan will start at these points with no advance warning.
Never reach near, or permit objects to protrude into the fan blade
radius while the engine is running, as this could result in vehicle
damage, personal injury or death.

Vehicle Inspection Guide
Check for glazing, fraying or cracking. There
should be no more than five - seven cracks per
rib per inch (2.5 cm).
Check for signs of fluid puddles, dripping fluid
on the ground under the engine or the
underside of the engine.
Check for debris, leaves, etc. that may have
collected on the HVAC air inlet grille or inside
the exterior module as this may cause reduced
system performance.
Periodically check the HVAC fresh air filter for
cleanliness.
