Safety Precautions


When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:

Route all lines and wires in their original locations.

For example, fuel, hydraulic, Evaporative Emission (EVAP), coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum lines.

Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

If special testing equipment is required during the road test, note the following:

Test and measuring instruments must be secured to the rear seat and operated by a second person from this location.

If the vehicle is involved in a collision while testing and measuring equipment is operated from the front passenger seat, the person sitting in that seat could be seriously injured when the airbag deploys.
