Doing Your
Own
Service
Work
If
you want
to
do some of your
own
service
work,
you’ll
want
to
use
the
proper service manual.
It
tells
you
much more
about how
to
service
your
vehicle than this
manual can.
To
order the proper service manual,
see
Service Publications Ordering Information on
page
7-
IO.
Your
vehicle
has an air bag system. Before attempting
to
do
your
own
service
work, see
Servicing
Your
Air
Bag-Equipped Vehicle on page
1-58.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date of any
service
work
you
perform.
See
Part
E:
Maintenance Record
on
page
6-26.
You
can
be
inju
.
and
your ve
...
;le could
be
damaged
if
you
try
to
do
service
work
on
a
vehicle
without
knowing
enough
about
it.
CAUTION:
(Continued)
Be
sure
you have sufficient
knowledge,
experience,
the
proper
replacement
parts
and
tools
before
you
attempt any vehicle
maintenance task.
Be sure
to
use
the
proper
nuts,
bolts
and
other
fasteners.
“English”
and
“metric”
fasteners
can
be
easily
confused.
If
you
use
the
wrong
fasteners,
parts
can later
break
or
fall
off.
You could
be
hurt.
Adding
Equipment
to the Outside
of
Your
Vehicle
Things
you
might add
to
the
outside
of
your
vehicle
can
affect the airflow
around it. This
may
cause
wind
noise and affect
windshield
washer
performance.
Check
with your
dealer
before
adding
equipment
to
the
outside of your
vehicle.
