"OK. The next thing we're going to deal with is the safety of doing the tune-up and dealing with some of the things that you have to deal with when you're dealing with your automotive vehicle. Safety is important at all cost, because you don't want to get hurt or have any sort of injury. So, like earlier when I did the spark plug wires, obviously you do not want to have the vehicle running when you do this. Because, like, it does have a high voltage to it and it can possibly make your heart defibulate if you touch this while it's going. So, you don't want to mess with the ignition system at all, at any cost, unless you have the proper tools to do it while the car is running. So, you just want to steer away from that whole part of it. Then when you check your antifreeze you don't want to do it after the car has been directly running, because it will possibly explode and it could scald you and then that could cause you some issues too. Dealing with gas in the vehicle, you know, obviously you don't want it to touch anything hot, because it is highly flammable and you don't want any problems of that nature. So, you just kind of want to keep up on all of the stuff like get your oil, check under your hood, like maybe you want to go fill your car up at the gas station, look under the hood to make sure everything is in its proper place. Get your oil changed regularly so you don't cause any damage to the engine itself. So, you usually do that three months, three thousand miles. Check the brakes whenever you do like rotate your tires. You just want to look out for yourself at all costs. So, that sums up the whole safety issue of being around an automotive vehicle."
