NOTICE
z Remember that battery and ignition
cables carry high currents or volt-
ages. Be careful of accidentally
causing a short circuit.
z Add only demineralized or distilled
water to fill the radiator. And if you
spill some of the coolant, be sure
to wash it off with water to prevent
it from damaging the parts or paint.
z Do not allow dirt or anything else
to fall through the spark plug holes.
z Do not pry the outer electrode of a
spark plug against the center elec-
trode.
z Use only spark plugs of the speci-
fied type. Using other types will
cause engine damage, loss of per-
formance or radio noise.
z Do not reuse platinum−tipped spark
plugs by cleaning or regapping.
z Do not overfill automatic transmis-
sion fluid, or the transmission
could be damaged.
z Do not drive with the air cleaner
filter removed, or excessive engine
wear could result. Also backfiring
could cause a fire in the engine
compartment.
z Be careful not to scratch the glass
surface with the wiper frame.
z When closing the engine
check to see that you have not for-
gotten any tools, rags, etc.
