SERVICE AND VEHICLE CARE 6–3
To avoid possible injury from the cooling fan,
switch off the engine so the fan is not oper-
ating before you perform any engine checks.
Also, be aware that the electronic ignition
system has a higher voltage than conventional
systems. Therefore, it is highly dangerous to
touch live parts when your vehicle's ignition
is ON.
