Caution: Keep hands, tools, and clothing away from the electric engine coolant fans in order to help prevent personal injury. These fans are
electric and can turn on whether or not the engine is running. The fans can start automatically with the ignition in the ON position.
Caution: An electric fan under the hood can start up even when the engine is not running and can injure you. Keep hands, clothing and tools away
from any underhood electric fan.
Caution: To help avoid personal injury or damage to the vehicle, a bent, cracked, or damaged fan blade or housing should always be replaced.
Caution: Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition key must be in the OFF or LOCK position and all electrical loads must be
OFF, unless instructed otherwise in these procedures. If a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with a live exposed electrical
terminal, also disconnect the negative battery cable. Failure to follow these precautions may cause personal injury and/or damage to the
vehicle or its components.
