They contain acid and electricity that can burn and gas that can explode or ignite. Use care and follow any applicable instructions when working near a battery. Do not let battery fluid touch your skin. If you do get it in your eyes or on your skin, flush the place with water and get medical help immediately. Do not use a match or flame near a vehicle’s battery. If you need more light, use a flashlight. CAUTION (Continued) Every new GM vehicle uses an AC Delco ® battery that requires no maintenance. However, if another battery has filler caps, be sure the right amount of fluid is there. If it is low, add water to make sure that there is no explosive gas present. Towing Your Vehicle CAUTION To help avoid injury to you or others: • Do not let anyone ride in a vehicle that is being towed. • Do not tow faster than safe or posted speeds. • Be sure to secure any loose or damaged parts. • Never get under a vehicle after it has been lifted. • Always use separate safety chains on each side of the vehicle. . . . 16

AKENG44_Escalade Page 17 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Important Safety Precautions Engine Compartment CAUTION Steam from an overheated engine can burn you badly. Stay away from the engine if you see or hear steam coming from it. Be careful when working around the engine compartment. Some engine parts can get very hot and could burn you. CAUTION (Continued) Exercise extreme caution around the electric engine fan. It sometimes starts by itself, even when the engine is not running. Cooling System CAUTION Do not run the engine if the coolant is leaking. If the vehicle loses all coolant, it could cause an engine fire and you could be burned. Adding only plain water or a liquid other than the recommended coolant can be dangerous. The engine could overheat, but you would not get the overheat warning. The engine could catch on fire and you or others could be burned. CAUTION Under some conditions the ethylene glycol in engine coolant is combustible. To avoid being burned, do not spill coolant on the exhaust system or on hot engine parts. If you have any doubt, have this operation performed by a qualified technician. 17 . . .
