WARNING
l If it is necessary to do work in the engine
compartment with the plug-in hybrid EV
system starting, be especially careful that
your clothing, hair, etc., does not become
caught by the cooling fans, drive belts, or
other moving parts.
l The cooling fans can turn on automatical-
ly even if the plug-in hybrid EV system is
stopping. Put the operation mode of the
power switch in OFF to be safe while you
work in the engine compartment.
l Make sure that the engine and Plug-in
Hybrid EV system has cooled down be-
fore removing the radiator cap and EV
cooling system reserve tank cap, because
hot steam or boiling water will otherwise
gush from the filler port and may scald
you.
l Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open
flames around fuel or auxiliary battery.
The fumes are flammable.
l Be extremely cautious when working
around the auxiliary battery. It contains
poisonous and corrosive sulphuric acid.
l Do not get under your vehicle with just
the body jack supporting it. Always use
automotive jack stands.
l Improper handling of components and
materials used in the vehicle can endanger
your personal safety. We recommend you
to consult a specialist for necessary infor-
mation.
WARNING
l The components inside the engine room
might be very hot to the touch.
To avoid being burnt, make sure all com-
ponents have sufficiently cooled before
beginning an inspection. These compo-
nents are affixed with the label indicating
precautions for handling. Follow the in-
structions on the label.

It is important to keep the engine properly
tuned to ensure proper catalyst operation and
prevent possible catalyst damage.

ate this vehicle in areas where combusti-
ble materials such as dry grass or leaves

ic converter.
