information in this manual while performing vehicle service or maintenance.

Use the tools shown in the tool list and wear the specified safety equipment when per-

forming vehicle service or maintenance.

Remove all jewelry before you service the vehicle.

Do not allow loose clothing or hair to contact the moving parts.
