CAUTION
The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may move sud-
denly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death or serious injury,
observe the following precautions:
n
When working on the engine compartment
l
Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan and engine drive belt.
l
Be careful not to touch the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right after driv-
ing as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also be hot.
l
Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper or rags, in the engine
compartment.
l
Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the battery. Fuel
and battery fumes are flammable.

Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous and
corrosive sulfuric acid.
n
When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is off.
With the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in IGNITION ON mode, the electric
cooling fan may automatically start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the
coolant temperature is high. (
