WARNING
The motor compartment contains
many mechanisms and fluids that
may move suddenly, become hot,
or become electrically energized.
To avoid death or serious injury,
observe the following precautions.
■ When working on the motor
compartment
● Make sure that “POWER ON”
on the multi-information display
and the “READY” indicator are
both off.
● Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the moving fan.
● Be careful not to touch the
motor, power control unit, radia-
tor, etc., right after driving as
they may be hot. Coolant and
other fluids may also be hot.
Items Parts and tools ● Do not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the motor compartment.
● Do not smoke, cause sparks or
expose an open flame to the 12-
volt battery. 12-volt battery
fumes are flammable.
● Be extremely cautious when
working on the 12-volt battery. It
contains poisonous and corro-
sive sulfuric acid.
● Never touch, disassemble,
remove or replace the high volt-
age parts, cables and their con-
nectors. It can cause severe
burns or electric shock that may
result in death or serious injury.
■ When working near the elec-
tric cooling fan or radiator
grille
Be sure the power switch is OFF.
With the power switch in ON, the
electric cooling fan may automati-
cally start to run if the air condi-
tioning is on and/or the coolant
temperature is high. (P.468)
■ Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent
flying or falling material, fluid
spray, etc., from getting in your
eyes.
