When performing any inspection or main-
tenance work on your vehicle, always take
care to prevent serious accidental injury
to yourself or damage to the vehicle. The
following are general precautions which
should be closely observed.
WARNING
O
Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply
the parking brake securely and block the
wheels to prevent the vehicle from
moving. For manual transmission
models, move the shift lever to N (Neu-
tral) position. For automatic transmis-
sion models, move the selector lever to P
(Park) position.
O
Be sure the ignition switch is in the
LOCK position when performing any
parts replacement or repairs.
O
If you must work with the engine run-
ning, keep your hands, clothing, hair
and tools away from moving fans,
belts and any other moving parts.
O
It is advisable to secure or remove any
loose clothing and remove any jewelry,
such as rings, watches, etc. before
working on your vehicle.
O
Always wear eye protection whenever
you work on your vehicle.
O
If you must run the engine in an enclosed
space such as a garage, be sure there is
proper ventilation for exhaust gases to
escape.
O
Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by a jack. If it is neces-
sary to work under the vehicle, support it
with safety stands.
O
Keep smoking materials, flame and
sparks away from fuel tank and the bat-
tery.
O
Your vehicle is equipped with an auto-
matic engine cooling fan. It may come on
at any time without warning, even if the
ignition key is in the OFF position and
the engine is not running. To avoid in-
jury, always disconnect the negative
battery cable before working near the
fan.
O
The fuel filter or fuel lines should be ser-
viced by an INFINITI dealer because the
fuel lines are under high pressure even
when the engine is off.
CAUTION
O
Do not work under the hood while the
engine is hot. Turn the engine off and
wait until it cools down.
O
Never connect or disconnect the battery
or any transistorized component while
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
O
Never leave the engine or automatic
transmission related component har-
nesses disconnected while the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
O
Avoid direct contact with used engine oil
and coolant. Improperly disposed en-
gine oil, and coolant, and/or other ve-
hicle fluids can damage the environ-
ment. Always conform to local regula-
tions for disposal of vehicle fluid.
