MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
SAFETY
WARNING: If the vehicle has been
driven recently, do not touch any
exhaust and cooling system components
until they have cooled.
WARNING: Never leave the engine
running in an unventilated area -
exhaust gases are poisonous and
extremely dangerous.
WARNING: Keep your hands and
clothing away from rotating
components and cooling fans. Some fans
may continue to operate even when the
vehicle is OFF.
WARNING: Remove metal wrist
bands and jewelry, before working in
the engine compartment.
WARNING: When filling-up fluid
reservoirs, position a cloth around
the neck of the reservoir to absorb any fluid
spillage to avoid the possibility of a fire.
POISONOUS FLUIDS
Fluids used in motor vehicles are poisonous
and should not be consumed or brought
into contact with open wounds. These fluids
include; battery acid, antifreeze, brake and
power steering fluid, gasoline, engine oil
and windshield washer additives.
For your own safety, always read and obey
all instructions printed on fluid container
labels.
USED ENGINE OIL
Prolonged contact with engine oil may
cause serious skin disorders, including
dermatitis and cancer of the skin. Always
wash thoroughly after contact.
It is illegal to pollute drains, water
ways or soil. Use authorized waste
disposal sites to dispose of used oil and
other chemicals.
FUEL AND EMISSION SYSTEMS
COMPONENTS
EMISSION CONTROL
Your Revero is designed with various items
of emission and evaporative control
equipment, designed to meet specific
territorial requirements. You should be
aware that unauthorized replacement,
modification or tampering with this
equipment by an owner or repair shop,
may be unlawful and subject to legal
penalties.
In addition, engine settings must not be
tampered with. These have been
established to ensure that your vehicle
complies with stringent exhaust emission
regulations. Incorrect engine settings may
adversely affect exhaust emissions, engine
performance and fuel consumption, as well
as causing high temperatures, which will
result in damage to the catalytic converter
and the vehicle.
FUEL SYSTEM
WARNING: Under no circumstances
should any part of the fuel system be
dismantled or replaced by anyone other
than a suitably qualified vehicle technician.
Failure to comply with this instruction may
result in fuel spillage with a consequent
serious risk of fire.
WARNING: Keep sparks and open
flames away from the engine
compartment.
WARNING: Wear protective clothing,
including, where practicable, gloves
made from an impervious material.
