VENTILATION

BATTERY SAFETY

SAFETY INFORMATION

FIRE AND EXPLOSION

Be careful when using gasoline. Do not use gasoline

to clean parts. Store only in approved containers away

from sources of heat or ﬂame.

CELL PHONES

A driver's ﬁrst responsibility is the safe operation of

the vehicle. The most important thing you can do

to prevent a crash is to avoid distractions and pay

attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to operate

Mobile Communication Equipment such as cell

phones, text messaging devices, pagers or two-way

radios.

CAUTION

Batteries normally produce explosive gases

which can cause personal injury. Therefore,

do not allow ﬂames, sparks or lit tobacco

to come near the battery. When charging or

working near a battery, always cover your

face and protect your eyes, and also provide

ventilation.

• Batteries contain sulfuric acid which burns

skin, eyes and clothing.

• Disconnect the battery before removing or

replacing any electrical components.

WARNING

Vehicle exhaust contains lethal fumes.

Breathing these fumes, even in low

concentrations, can cause death. Never

operate a vehicle in an enclosed area without

venting exhaust to the outside.

WARNING

Gasoline is highly ﬂammable and gasoline

vapor is explosive. Never smoke while

working on vehicle. Keep all open ﬂames

away from gasoline tank and lines. Wipe up

any spilled gasoline immediately.
