Glossary of terms and acronyms consolidates key terminology used throughout the service manual. This reference ensures consistent understanding across technicians, engineers, and warranty personnel. Clear definitions help prevent misinterpretation of specifications, symbols, and measurement units. Regularly update the glossary to reflect new components, regulatory changes, or revised maintenance practices. A well-maintained glossary supports training, onboarding, and knowledge transfer within service teams.
