IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable operation of all motor vehicles. The service procedures recommended and described in this publication, are effective methods for performing service operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose. The special tools should be used when, and as recommended. It is important to note that this publication contains various WARNINGS and NOTES which should be carefully read in order to minimize the risk of personal injury to personnel, or the possibility that improper service methods will be followed which may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe.
It is also important to understand these WARNINGS and NOTES are not exhaustive. It is not possible to know, evaluate and advise the service trade of ALL conceivable ways in which service might be carried out, or, of the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Consequently, no such broad evaluation has been undertaken. Accordingly, anyone who uses a service procedure, or tool, which is not recommended, must first satisfy themselves thoroughly that neither their safety, nor vehicle safety, will be jeopardized by the service method he/she selects. Two types of heading are used in this manual to attract your attention.
