WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
• Take care to avoid the radiator
cooling fan whenever the hood is
raised. It can start anytime the ig-
nition switch is ON. You can be
injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as
watch bands or bracelets that
might make an inadvertent electri-
cal contact. You could be seriously
injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that
can burn your skin or eyes and
generate hydrogen gas which is
flammable and explosive. Keep
open flames or sparks away from
the battery.
