Doing Your Own Service Work

Warning
It can be dangerous to work on your
vehicle if you do not have the proper
knowledge, service manual, tools,
or parts. Always follow owner s manual
procedures and consult the service
manual for your vehicle before doing any
service work.
If doing some of your own service work, use
the proper service manual. It tells you much
more about how to service the vehicle than
this manual can. To order the proper service
manual, see Publication Ordering
Information 0 406.
This vehicle has an airbag system. Before
attempting to do your own service work,
see Servicing the Airbag-Equipped Vehicle

the hood before performing any service
work to prevent remote starting the vehicle
accidentally. See Remote Vehicle Start 0 18.
Vehicle Care
Keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date of any service
work performed. See Maintenance Records

reservoir caps, or dipsticks.
